Does your RV have more grime than shine after sitting around all winter long? Well, fear not because today it's time for a good old-fashioned spring cleaning, and we're going to have this RV shining like it's new. We found a great video that walks you through the entire process step by step.
1. Prepping and Gathering Tools
Before you start washing your RV, it's essential to gather all the necessary tools. You'll need a power washer, a big bucket of soapy water, a soft bristle brush, spray wax, and a good sponge for the tires and rims. Now, I know what you're thinking: "A power washer? Isn't that a bit extreme?" But trust me, with the right tip and technique, it's as safe as using a garden hose, just a bit more fun.
2. Pre-Rinsing the RV
The first step in the actual washing process is to pre-rinse your RV. This helps to remove the loose dirt, mud, and bugs that have accumulated. Think of it as giving your RV a refreshing shower before the deep clean. Just be careful not to accidentally wash off any decals or paint—unless you want your RV to have a 'modern art' look.
3. Soaping and Scrubbing
Once the pre-rinse is done, it's time to soap up and scrub. Apply soap to one side of the RV at a time to prevent it from drying out in the sun. Use your soft bristle brush to scrub all the nooks and crannies. It's like giving your RV a spa day, but instead of a relaxing massage, it's more of a vigorous exfoliation.
4. Rinsing Off the Soap
After scrubbing, rinse off the soap thoroughly. Make sure no soap residue is left behind, as it can leave streaks. This step is crucial because nobody wants their RV looking like a zebra with soap stripes. Plus, it's a great excuse to play with water on a hot day.
5. Applying Wax
Finally, it's time to apply the wax. A spray-on, walk-away wax is recommended to save time and effort. This will give your RV that extra shine and protection. Just make sure not to buy the cheapest brush on Amazon, unless you want to spend your day picking bristles off your RV.
We hope these tips help you get your RV looking as good as new. For a full step-by-step guide, be sure to watch the entire video from:
