Usual disclaimer that I am absolutely hopeless at cleaning, and have no association with anyone selling anything
I have opened a new topic, as there was a posts in the past, asking how do we clean our vehicles while travelling, but I am unable to find it
In Bunbury there is a company called Sparklers I have used this company today, and I therefore recommend it
My RV was looking a bit grubby, when I purchased it, in 2014
It was now starting to look err... grubbier (2017), as the paint was oxidised, (rub finger over paint, and finger tip turned white)
They quoted $500 for an outside wash, cut and polish
As they could not make the fibreglass sparkle, they gave me $100 back, saying that they were unable to do the job to their standards, they also cleaned inside the cab, free of charge
Below is a link to this company location, as they have branches elsewhere
Tony, Did they do the top of the roof and solar panels? - That is what I have difficulty in doing myself.

No, I specifically asked them not to do the roof, Possum3
I would not be keen to have anyone stand on my JAYCO roof (for obvious reasons)
I would also not be keen to have an over enthusiastic cleaner, attack my solar panel with their cut and paste, and electric polisher
To give some idea of prices, I went the day before (for a quote), which they would not give, until they saw the vehicle
They said that a normal 4x4 detailed inside and out, was around $300
They quoted $500 this morning at 10 am, and I picked the motorhome up at 4 pm
I did ask, after I paid, if they did caravans, and they said yes
If they are in an area you live/travel through, there would be no harm in asking, for a price to do the roof only
One of the reasons I have put this up, is that I am led to believe, that not many detailers will do a caravan or motorhome

That's a great idea Tony, we've had cars cleaned/detailed before and know that detailers/car wash places usually do great jobs but I've never thought of getting them to do our van....thought they only did cars.
Ours has never had a good clean for 4 years so I'll check our local mob out tomorrow.

Ours definitely needs doing as we have had a diesel leak with the Pajero from a couple of the hp injector pipes. Gunk everywhere. Had it serviced last week with 4 new pipes and tappets done We are going away for a few days after the long weekend and will be checking if completely fixed. Then ask for help from a flying mate who has a trucking business to wash it for me.

I often give ours a wash and wax as soon as I can after we come off dirt roads. I have an extendable ladder on board.

Below is a picture of the finished job, the boss is now happy, and that is all I have to worry about
