Professional detailing recommendations

[ctwebb]

I have a 2014 High Country with the grey exterior. It is starting to show some oxidation on the sides. Does anyone have any recommendations to a good detailer in middle Tennessee area that can buff the complete exterior.
Thanks for any suggestions.

I put an add in craigslst every so often. I ask for an RV Detailer and have had good luck. Usually a guy from a body shop. I have a kid I use for regular washing etc. I suspect you can pay less than I do, but here is the math where I live. RV detail places and CW charge $4.00 foot to wash. $14.00 ft to detail outside. That is way to rich for my blood. The most resent guy I hired I paid $18.00 hour, I provided the products. Took him Seven hours, wish polish and sealer coat. At that rate I can use him 7-8 times a year. I tell them upfront "no cell phone calls", take regular breaks, if I can hear music in the house it gets turned off and I supply soda or water. I want it done in one sitting. Here is my ad I used. Put it under "Gigs" in CL jobs portion. Never put your number, use CL email provider. If they respond correctly, call them. Don't like what they write in response, don't respond back.

Had a guy that took care of my RV for couple years. Washed, polished, full exterior detail on a monthly basis. I expect someone to be knowledgeable and have equipment. I provide products and location. This is extra work, not full time job. I expect you to be on time and get the job done. I pay $16.00 to $20.00 hour depending on how you perform. It's a 40 footer and not for those without stamina, strength to finish the job. Job requires being able bodied and person who can climb ladder. I want this to be a regular service, not a one time job. I don't care about your record or checkered background, I judge you on your performance today. Do well I will send you to my associates. Do poorly or be dishonest then we part company quickly. Pretty much what I am looking to find. Job starts yesterday... Get at me and I will call you back. Please have experience, I don't want to train you or be your coach. Convince me you know your stuff! I Thanks

I realize someday I won't be spry and mobile, but until then, you guys that pay for wash, buff, and wax crack me up. For all the lambasting I may receive ... "didn't hurt".

Be happy you don't have my knees. It would take me days of ladder work, working till I couldn't stand it anymore and then being crippled the rest of the day. Got the "Free" college education and now am finding out it was really a deferred payment plan. Tomorrow I go to have the other knee replaced so maybe my waxing days are now ahead of me
To answer the original question: When I feel it's time, I ask in a park we're staying at who to get. Once I have a recommendation I ask who in the park has had it done recently and look at the work and ask the rig owners for their opinion. If it's all a go then I have it done, if I have issues or the price is too high then we'll ask again at another park.

DieselGuy, you are lucky. I am 56, and can't do much anymore. Two back surgeries, 12 fusions. One neck surgery. It was all those years as a chipindale dancer. Bending over picking up all those one dollar bills. Guess that's the price I paid !
