Pictures: RV and Motorhome Detailing Classes at Autogeek
At Autogeek's RV and Motorhome Detailing Classes we start out with a power point presentation to share the important information about the proper techniques for correctly maintained and machine polishing high-end RVs. Doing quality work starts with the brain not the buffer.
When it comes to detailing RV's and specifically high-end RVs with the same type of basecoat/clearcoat finish that you find on new cars and trucks, the most important things you can do are,
1: Always wash and dry carefully.
2: Use high quality products - this is especially true as it applies to abrasive technology including compounds, polishes and cleaner/waxes.
3: Use orbital polishers and foam pads and avoid rotary buffers and wool pads as these are the primary cause of hologram scratches.
Pictured below is a rotary buffer to show what NOT to use and the a huge selection many of the orbital polishers on the market today all of which are available at Autogeek.com
The students in this class were encouraged to use ANY orbital polisher they were either interested in or preferred.
And one of the reasons why it is so important to understand the type of finish you're working on and how to work on it is because a custom paint job like you get on a Newmar Motor Coach cost tens of thousands of dollars.
After the power point presentation there's a presentation on using the correct technique to back up the information shared in the classroom.
