5 days? Did you use a toothbrush Alfred? LOL. I took advantage of light rain and washed ours rather quickly but still need to wax it.

Miss the good old days at Leesburg's bike week.

Nice, do you charge by the hour or by the job? Looking for a good detailer, cheap.

What is that 'green' stuff that the MH is sitting on? Have not seen that yet, but hope to before too much longer!
Being that yours is now done, want to come to Alaska and help with ours? Just kidding, getting the MH ready for the season is part of the fun. It gives me a chance to really go over it and find issues that I may have missed last winter when we put her away.
Have fun and enjoy your travels!

I just finished mine today as well. It was a two and half day marathon effort. Kicking back with a well deserved cold one now!

I like the marathon comparison. Should we get stickers in the back of our RVs like the people that do marathons? You know, Alfred can get an oval with a 5 in the middle of it. I'm being serious. It is not easy washing and waxing one of these things. I think people should know what we go through.

Still too cold with snow on the ground to even think about waxing mine. But did remove from the storage building today and is now home. It's a start but no real warm up in sight. Looks like our firs weekend of rving will be cold.

I like it!

When I paid an outfit to do it, they washed and waxed in about 10 hours. But, it was two guys, so make that 20 hours. It's not like washing and waxing a car or pickup.

Beautiful job, looks like the prom queen. Now it's time to go have fun and get her dirty.

Just paid local car detailer 65 and he did the coach and the car full hand wax. I had to have friend show me why his wheels look so much better than mine.

I've had a few cold one so I'm not sure I read this correctly. You paid someone 65 bucks and they washed/waxed your coach? It costs more than that to do a small car. That's awesome.

No what I said was 65 to wax only for both My wrists will handle wash but no way can I wax on wax off. I am 6 miles from mexico so labor can be really great deals. Food is cheap also.

I did power ball mothers the wheels since my 03 does not have clear coat on the alcoas Now that I know the secret wheels are a snap

Wow, that's a steal. Over here they'll take a couple hundred plus room and board.
