RV & Motorhome Detailing in Heber City.
Built for US-40, US-189, Daniels Summit, and the Wasatch Back storage cycles. We recover chalky front caps, deep-clean RV roofs, and lock in ceramic that survives Heber Valley altitude UV.
Is your RV ready for the season?
- Roof has gone chalky from sustained UV and the rubber/fiberglass needs proper restoration before the next storage cycle.
- Awning is dirty, mildew is starting to show, and the slide-out seals have grit in them.
- Sidewalls have streaked from rain runoff (black-streak damage) and a hose alone will not touch it.
- The interior has 6 months of family travel — carpet, upholstery, dinette cushions, every surface.
- You're a Homestead, Wasatch State Park, or Snake Creek regular and need a shop with the bay space for a Class A or C.
Not the right pick if you have a travel trailer under 18 ft — call to confirm fit before booking; we can usually accommodate but bay space matters.
Wasatch Back has very few full-size RV detailers

Why Wasatch Back Climates Wreck RV Finishes
A motorhome is a house on wheels — and the house lives through every kind of weather the Wasatch Back throws at it. Five conditions stack onto each rig that comes through our Heber City bay:
- Altitude UV stacking: Heber City at 5,600 feet, Daniels Summit at 8,000 feet, Strawberry at 7,520 feet. UV climbs ~10% per 1,000 ft, so a rig at any Wasatch Back storage yard takes substantially more UV than the same coach in Phoenix.
- Winter mag-chloride brine: Utah\'s anti-icing chemistry bonds to fiberglass and aluminum and keeps eating once the rig sits dirty for storage.
- Canyon tar & bug residue: Provo Canyon (US-189), Parley\'s (I-80), Daniels Pass (US-40), and the Mirror Lake Highway leave a chemistry on the cap and slide-outs that a basic wash will not dissolve.
- Stored-not-driven cycles: Most Wasatch Back RVs run 6–10 weeks per year and sit the other 42 — often outdoors at Heber Valley storage yards.
- Ranch-road dust: Coaches headed to Strawberry, Soldier Hollow, or the Uintas pick up calcium-carbonate ranch dust that bonds harder than highway grime.
Our 7-Stage RV Restoration & Ceramic Process
- 1. Intake & moisture mapping. Delamination, sealant failures, oxidation severity, written quote.
- 2. Roof deep-clean + seal inspection. Algae, sap, black-streak sources removed; Dicor lap sealant failures flagged.
- 3. Sidewall acid decon + clay. Highway film, bug residue, canyon tar chemically dissolved.
- 4. Heavy wool-pad compounding. Dead chalky gel-coat cut off to expose live color beneath.
- 5. Finishing polish + slide-seal conditioning. Rotary haze erased; rubber seals conditioned for cold storage.
- 6. RV ceramic application. Two coats hand-leveled in measured sections.
- 7. 48-hour cure. Climate-controlled bay until full cross-link.

RV Detailing FAQ
How much does RV detailing cost in Heber City?
Quoted by linear foot after a hands-on intake. Same-day quotes from photos or a walk-in.
Why do Wasatch Back RVs oxidize so fast?
Heber Valley altitude (5,600+ ft), winter mag-chloride, canyon road residue, 42-weeks-of-storage cycles all stack at once.
Can you fix a chalky 10-year-old front cap?
Usually yes. Multi-stage wool-pad compounding removes the dead resin; live color comes back.
Do you clean the roof?
Yes. Roof deep clean + a written seal-failure punch list.
How long does the full job take?
Typical 28–32 foot rig: one full day. Heavy Class A oxidation: two days.
Do you do interior too?
Yes — carpet extraction, galley sanitation, bathroom degrease, cabin dust, slide-out tracks, ozone.
What RV types do you service?
Class A/B/C, fifth-wheels, travel trailers, toy haulers, overland trailers, pop-ups.
Wax vs RV ceramic — what is the difference?
Wax washes off in weeks. RV ceramic bonds to gel-coat and lasts 2–4 seasons.
Mobile service?
Wash and decon at Wasatch Back storage yards. Full ceramic stays inside our climate-controlled bay.
What products do you use?
RV-grade ceramic, RV-safe acid decon, iron chelator, heavy/medium/finishing compound on Rupes / Flex rotary polishers.
