5-Step Caravan Detailing Transformation

When David reached out to us in Brisbane, his Jayco Silverline had seen better days, left outside and battling the elements, resulting in noticeable fading. With a keen eye for a solution, David opted for our top-notch caravan detailing services, specifically desiring a thorough polish restoration and ceramic coating protection. His aim? To not only rejuvenate the caravan but also make post-trip cleaning a breeze.

Step One: Full Roof & Sides Inspection

Buckle up for David’s Jayco Silverline caravan detailing adventure! The restoration journey begins with a meticulous inspection, starting from the roof. Assessing the condition of seals, air conditioning units, and solar panels for any cracks or moldy surprises. Why? Because the roof condition decides if the ceramic coating will bond with it. 

David is shown roof pics, discussions about potential solutions take place, and all sides are inspected for scratches or marks. Oh, and the keys are needed – not for a joyride, but to peek inside and make sure there are no leaks or weak spots. It’s like a Jayco Silverline health check!

Step Two: Roof Brush Srub Clean & Exterior Detail

Time to roll up sleeves and get down to business with some serious caravan detailing! The team starts with a Brush Scrub Clean of the roof, letting everything tumble down the sides. Dust, grime, and even mold, if it dares to show up. Throughout this process, we prioritize safety by using ladders and scaffolding platforms rather than standing on the roof.

Once the roof is squeaky clean, the team pops inside again to check for water (no surprise puddles allowed). Now, for the Exterior Detail – it’s like a Jayco Silverline caravan detailing spa day! The Exterior Detail focuses on cleaning all sides, seals, wheels and arches get degreased and pampered. Awning? Fully opened, scrubbed clean, and left to bask in the sun for a day – no damp smell is allowed!

Step Three: Machine Polish Restoration

Time to give that Jayco Silverline some love, starting with the roof. The roof, a delicate area, is treated with care. Hand-removing marks and stains with a microfiber and polish compound avoids any potential damage from machine polishing.

The four side panels undergo machine polishing, eliminating marks, dullness, and restoring the shine. This step not only enhances aesthetics but also increases the chances of successful ceramic coating bonding.

The precision is maintained by polishing one side at a time, ensuring all polish compound is meticulously removed with a microfiber and Isopropanol mixture. Why the fuss? Because that ceramic coating won’t stick around if the surface isn’t pristine for the next step.

Step Four: Ceramic Coating Hand Application

Drumroll, please! The superstar step – Ceramic Coating. This transparent protective layer needs a cozy undercover spot away from the sun and dust. It is made for the caravan panels. It’s crucial to note that the ceramic is not applied to surfaces such as checker plates, solar panels, seals, air conditioning units, and acrylic windows. These are protected with a ceramic spray. 

Applying this liquid protective layer is a hands-on affair, literally. A 2-inch pad, a shalf-meter square area at a time, and 30 seconds to cure. Quick math: removal happens with a soft microfiber in that 30-second window – no streaks, no uneven surfaces. David’s Jayco Silverline then chills in the workshop for 24 hours, away from the elements, soaking up that ceramic coating to fully cure.

Step Five: Caravan Pick-Up & Personalized Maintenance Tips

Following over three days of meticulous polish restoration and ceramic coating protection, David was thoroughly impressed with the rsult. He told with us that his van looked newer than the day he got it from the dealership!
