Share your shiny RV

I washed the motorhome when I pulled it from storage in early April. After driving from Michigan's Upper Peninsula to Tennessee, it looked like it hadn't been washed since it was built.

We're parked at my wife's sister's horse ranch outside of Nashville for a few weeks, so I just gave it the proper "start of the season" detailed wash and wax.

It sure is shiny . . . and that will last until we make it 50 feet down the road to our next destination! Makes me want to spend more time parked and less time driving. :-)

If you have a photo of your RV in all of it's freshly washed and waxed glory, feel free to share. And don't forget to wear your sunglasses when viewing this thread - the shine might hurt your eyes!

Well, I'll bite.

Here's a couple of ours when we attended the '14 Grand National Rally for the Winne/Itasca force in Forest City IA.

I always liked this photo in a campsite at Oakhurst, the gateway to Yosemite.

Picture is from Oct. last year. Finishing up a full exterior detail over 4 days, about 6 hours or so a day. One day to wash, 3 days to polish and then apply sealant.

Just finished up 3 days for the spring detail yesterday. 1 day to wash, and a bit less than 2 to apply sealant; no need to polish this time.
