Best RV Wash Ever!
I'm in Gulf Water RV Resort in Aransas Texas, just below Corpus Christi. It is a beutiful new park on the gulf. I called a local mobile RV wash called Port "A"ble Detail, after inquiring if there was a company or service that could wash my coach.
The owner of the company, Miguel arrived as promised with three workers. One guy got onto the roof and worked there for 1 1/2 hours, washing and cleaning every inch including the awning tops, the front over the windshield area and the rear spoiler. The others washed the rest. When it was completely washed and looking great, they squeegied all the windows. Then they dried and polished every inch of the coach. They took every single spot of dirt or bugs off. This went on for nearly three hours. They fully detailed every area from ground to roof. I have never seen the Essex look so good.
Now, the interesting part. The cost was $100 plus you have to pay the park $10 for using the water.
If you are ever in this area I highly recommend these people. There phone number is 361-749-7759.

Will they come down to Florida for another 100? That is a great price and it sounds like you are happy with the results.

I don't suppose you checked on a business license, or if they were properly insured/bonded in case someone fell and was injured?

Nope, but they were recommended by the resort so I assume if it works for them, it works for me.

WOW have not heard of a price that low for that amount of work since we were in Playa Bonita, Rocky Point, Mexico with some other Newmar owners in 2009

I'd be glad to take my coach over to ironman's building so they could detail 2 in one location.

Does the resort have rental sites or is it only for those that have purchased sites?

Man that is a deal - I just paid $500 to get my 42' coach completely detailed here in Houston - good job but expensive. But you have to be careful what kind of wax they use -some will turn white and you cannot get it off. Happy Trails Clarence

And that still stands. They washed and detailed it, no wax involved. I am still no a believer in waxing a fiberglass clear coated coach. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Come to Ocala Florida, have a young man that did our 35' A roof to tires and wheels wash and wax for $130.00. Coach looked like new when he was finished.
