What is included in an RV detail?
An RV is a house and a vehicle on the same frame, and both halves need attention. A full detail from Shazam Detailing covers the shell, the roof, the trim and seals, and the living space inside.
- Full hand wash of sidewalls, front cap, rear cap, and slide-outs
- Roof cleaning, including removal of black streak sources at the drip edges
- Black streak removal down the sidewalls below awnings, vents, and seams
- Mildew and mold spot treatment on fiberglass, seals, and awning fabric
- Oxidation removal and polishing on faded fiberglass or painted panels
- Wax or sealant application to protect the finish after correction
- Decal and graphics cleaning with attention to lifting or chalking edges
- Wheels, tires, wheel simulators, and diamond plate cleaned and dressed
- Glass, windows, and entry door glass cleaned inside and out
- Interior vacuum, surface wipe-down, upholstery spot treatment, and cabinetry cleaning
- Storage bay cleanout and the driver cockpit on motorized units
Full details are quoted individually because size, condition, and roof type change the job so much. A 43-foot diesel pusher that sat under trees for two seasons is not the same job as a two-year-old travel trailer.
What does RV detailing cost in Nashville?
Here is what is published, with the understanding that the final number depends on length, condition, and scope.
| Service | Starting price | What it covers | Typical candidate |
|---|---|---|---|
| RV / bus exterior wash | From $125 | Hand wash of sidewalls, caps, wheels, glass | Routine cleanup, pre-trip or post-trip |
| RV roof cleaning | From $125 | Membrane or fiberglass roof wash, drip edge cleanup | Anything that has produced black streaks |
| Mildew removal | From $125+ | Treatment of mildew on fiberglass, seals, awnings | Units stored outdoors or under trees |
| Oxidation removal and polish | From $800+ | Compounding and polishing chalked gelcoat or paint | Sidewalls that look dull, chalky, or fade to white |
| Wax or sealant | From $1,000+ | Protective layer over corrected finish | After any polish, and before storage |
| Full interior and exterior detail | From $1,500+ | Everything above plus living space | Pre-sale, post-storage, or annual reset |
Site pricing is a starting point rather than a fixed menu, so confirm the current figure for your unit when you call.
Why do RV sidewalls fade and chalk?
Most RV sidewalls are gelcoated fiberglass, and gelcoat is not paint. It is a pigmented resin surface, and ultraviolet light breaks down the resin at the top layer, releasing loose pigment. That is the chalk that comes off on your hand and the reason a red graphic turns pale pink.
Oxidation is removable while it is still surface-level. Compounding cuts away the degraded layer, polishing refines it, and a wax or sealant slows it from starting again. Wait too long and the gelcoat gets thin enough that correction stops being the right answer, which is when repainting or a wrap becomes the conversation.
Decals complicate this. Vinyl graphics shrink and grow brittle on a different timeline than the gelcoat around them, and aggressive machine work over a brittle decal will lift or burn its edge. Shazam Detailing works around graphics rather than through them.
How do you clean an RV roof without damaging the membrane?
With the right chemistry for the material. Most RV roofs are EPDM rubber, TPO, fiberglass, or aluminum, and they do not all respond the same way. EPDM is a rubber membrane that naturally chalks, and its manufacturers generally warn against petroleum-based or citrus-based cleaners that can soften or degrade it. TPO is more solvent-tolerant but still not a candidate for hard scrubbing. Fiberglass roofs can be polished like the sidewalls, and aluminum needs a different approach again.
Roof cleaning matters more than owners expect, because the roof is where black streaks are born. Airborne dirt settles on the roof, rain carries it over the drip edge, and it runs down the sidewalls under every vent and seam. Clean the roof and the streaking largely stops recurring. Roof cleaning starts at $75.
While on the roof, Shazam Detailing will tell you what sealant looks cracked or lifted around vents, skylights, and caps. Resealing is a separate job from cleaning.
When should an RV be detailed in Middle Tennessee?
Twice a year, keyed to the storage cycle, is the pattern that works here. Middle Tennessee has a real winter layup and a real spring return.
Before storage, in late fall: wash, clean the roof, and apply protection. A dirty unit put away for four months spends four months with organic debris, tree sap, and moisture sitting on the finish, and mildew grows in exactly those conditions, especially under covers and awnings.
Before the season, in early spring: wash off the winter, treat any mildew that appeared anyway, correct oxidation, and do the interior before the first trip. This is also the moment to catch a seal problem before spring rain finds it.
Owners who camp year-round should still get on a cadence. A wash every four to six weeks in season keeps road film and bug residue from setting up, and bug residue on a front cap is acidic enough to etch gelcoat if it bakes on through a Tennessee summer.
Do you work with RV dealers and rental fleets?
Yes. Dealer and rental work is a different product from owner work, and Shazam Detailing treats it that way.
Dealers need lot presentation and delivery prep. A unit that looks tired sits longer, and a unit handed to a buyer with streaked sidewalls starts the ownership relationship badly. Rental fleets need turnaround and consistency, since every unit that goes out has to look like the same brand promise and interiors take the hardest use in rental service. Recurring schedules get built around your turn days.
Shazam Detailing has run commercial vehicle accounts since 2001, including FirstFleet, Prevost, and Coach Quarters, and the same crew and standards apply to RV work.
Frequently asked questions about RV detailing
Do you come to my RV or do I bring it to you?
Either. Shazam Detailing is mobile and works at driveways, storage lots, campgrounds, and dealer lots within roughly 30 to 50 miles of Nashville, and there is a shop at 2348 Industrial Drive in Greenbrier. Storage facilities sometimes have rules about on-site washing, so check with the lot first.
Can oxidation be removed or does the RV need paint?
It depends on how far it has gone. Light to moderate chalking on gelcoat usually corrects well with compounding and polishing, and the finish comes back with real gloss. Severe oxidation that has thinned the gelcoat to the fiberglass underneath cannot be polished back, and at that point paint or a wrap is the honest answer. Shazam Detailing will tell you which one you are looking at.
Will detailing damage my RV decals?
Not when the work is done around them. Older vinyl becomes brittle and shrinks, and edges lift. The correct approach is hand work at the graphic borders, no aggressive machine pressure across a decal, and protection applied over the vinyl afterward to slow further fading. Decals that are already cracking cannot be restored by cleaning.
How often does an RV roof need cleaning?
At least once a year for a unit stored outdoors, and twice a year if it sits under trees. If black streaks keep returning down the sidewalls within weeks of a wash, the roof is the source and cleaning it is more effective than repeatedly scrubbing the streaks.
Can you get mildew off the awning and seals?
Mildew removal starts at $125 and is one of the most common calls after a Middle Tennessee winter. Fabric awnings, rubber seals, and shaded fiberglass are where it takes hold. Surface mildew treats well, though growth that has penetrated fabric or foam may not fully release. That gets said upfront rather than after the invoice.
Do you clean RV interiors as well as exteriors?
Yes. Interior work covers upholstery, carpet, hard surfaces, cabinetry, glass, and the driver cockpit on motorized units, plus odor treatment. For units closed up through a humid summer, the interior usually needs the most attention.
