I've used BB many times and I've always been happy with he results. In fact my windshield was the cleanest it's been in years after the last wash. Wish I knew what hey used to clean them.

I took our previous coach to BB and it turned out terrible. Now...it did not have full body paint so maybe that was the issue? Whatever chemicals they used permanently etched the surface of the RV, both the sides and the end caps. Drip marks were everywhere and visible on the entire coach, top to bottom. I tried for days on end to polish them out with zero luck. There were there to stay.

Even with all the good experiences listed here I would never do it again, especially with our new coach.

Which BB did you go to? It may have been a "bad apple"? Perhaps others can chime in who have been to that same BB, and report how their coach turned out. Not sure if not having full body paint is a factor.....anyone know?

I've had our coach washed by the Blue Beacon in Lodi, CA twice. No complaints from me. It was well worth the $38.00. If only they would blow dry...

Came south from new york on Friday. Needed a bus bath badly. Stopped Florence, SC at Blue Beacon. Great crew. Nobody in line. Got bus and toad washed. In and out in 15 minutes. Sparkling clean. Was off the road less than 30 minutes. Can't beat it. Beat the storm.

when I found out on my first trip to Blue Beacon that i could get my coach 'washed', and even my toad thrown in for free, for $28, I decided right then that I would never try to wash my coach myself ever again! : )
