We use our experience and premium products to thoroughly clean the inside and outside of vehicles, including RVs. The end result will be a vehicle that is spectacularly clean, making it more fun to hop behind the wheel or hit the road for your next adventure. Here’s a look at some of the FAQs about auto and RV detailing.

What is included with auto and RV detailing?
At Schmidt's Auto Detailing, we specialize in both interior and exterior detailing for cars and RVs. Our interior detailing services include the removal of dirt, pet hair, stains, dust, smudges, odors, and child messes. As part of interior deep cleaning, we use methods such as shampooing, vacuuming, and leather treatments. For RVs, we focus on ensuring that the interior living spaces are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized. Our exterior detailing services for both cars and RVs include a meticulous hand wash to remove dirt and grime. We also offer paint correction to remove swirls and scratches and apply a premium polish/wax to optimize the shine. RVs often require additional attention to larger surfaces and specialized cleaning for awnings and roof areas.


How long will the auto or RV detailing session take?
This can vary quite a bit depending on how dirty the vehicle or RV is. When we see your vehicle, we can give you a timeframe. In many cases, a full detail for a commuter car will take approximately five hours, while bigger vehicles like SUVs or trucks can take a bit more time. RVs, given their larger size and complexity, may take a full day to complete, ensuring that every detail is meticulously attended to.


How frequently should I get my car or RV detailed?
It’s generally recommended that cars get detailed two to three times per year. For RVs, detailing before and after long trips or once every few months during the travel season can help maintain their appearance and prolong the life of exterior finishes and interior surfaces. Regular detailing will help to maintain the vehicle’s aesthetic appeal and maximize its resale value.


What are the benefits of ceramic coating?
An automotive ceramic coating is an advanced nano-coating that creates a strong layer on the vehicle’s surface. Formed of liquid polymer, it creates a hydrophobic and scratch-resistant coating, protecting your car or RV's exterior from fading while also safeguarding against contaminants such as bird droppings, road grime, and tree sap. For RVs, ceramic coating offers an extra layer of protection against the elements, which is especially beneficial for vehicles that spend extended periods outdoors.
