RV Polishing Services

If you have noticed your RV has lost the gloss it had when new, then you more than likely you would benefit from our RV polishing services. A brand new RV can look old and tired if the surface has began to oxidize and weather or if it has accrued a fair amount of tree and wash induced scratches on the gelcoat or paint. Oxidation and scratches will slowly start to deteriorate the appearance if the surface through time if left alone.

Polishing to remove oxidation

When removing oxidation, first a thorough wash is performed followed by an evaluation on the condition of the surface. Once evaluated, the surface might be lightly sanded to remove heavier oxidation. Then polished using a high-speed polisher and a polishing compound.

Afterwards, the surface is sealed with a paint sealant or with one of our more protective Ceramic Coatings.

Depending on the level of service desired, a follow up polishing step will be performed to bring out the maximum amount of clarity from the surface. In some instances of light oxidation, a less intense service will be performed. In order to leave as much material on the surface as possible.

removing swirls & scratches

Although the process to remove scratches and swirls is very similar to removing oxidation. The difference between polishing gel-coat is drastically different from polishing clear coat like you have on RVs with full body paint.

The thickness of gel-coat on average is 3 times as thick as the clear coat that protects your RV. Meaning that when you polish a painted RV you have to be careful with the polishes, tools and methods used when removing swirls and scratches.

Polishing painted RVs follow the same preparation steps as polishing gel-coat but with a slight difference.  Multiple test spots are performed to evaluate steps necessary.. These test spots are made so the best possible method is decided on. A method that is going to remove the least amount of clear coat while at the same time removing the most amount of scratches.

Highly recommended to apply a ceramic coating after a service of this type due to the amount of work that goes into it.
