RVs and boats take a lot of sun, salt, and storage time, so they need detailing built for their size. DetailBroski cleans and protects RVs, trailers, and boats right where they are parked anywhere in San Diego, whether that is your driveway, a storage lot, or near the marina.
Big vehicles have big surfaces and tough grime: oxidation on the sides, salt from the bay, and dusty interiors from months in storage. We bring the gear and the time to handle them.
A boat or RV is a big thing to keep up, and the San Diego climate is hard on it. The sun chalks the gel coat and paint, the bay leaves salt and spotting, and months in storage let dust settle deep inside the cabin.
We come to you with the tools and the time these big jobs need, so you do not have to haul your rig anywhere. Here is what the service covers, how it works, and what owners ask about it.
What RV and boat detailing handles
Heavy oxidation and chalky fiberglass or paint from long sun exposure.
Salt and water spots from time on or near San Diego Bay and the ocean.
Dusty, musty interiors from storage between trips.
Big roofs, awnings, and hulls that a normal car wash setup cannot reach.
Why San Diego owners need it
Our sun is hard on big fiberglass and painted surfaces, which fade and chalk without protection.
Boats here deal with salt water and marine growth that need regular cleaning.
RVs that sit in storage between trips collect dust and smells that a deep clean clears out before your next trip.
Signs your RV or boat needs detailing
The sides feel chalky and leave a white film on your hand, which is oxidation from the sun.
Water no longer beads on the gel coat or paint, so it spots up fast after a rinse or a run on the bay.
The inside smells musty or dusty after sitting in storage between trips.
There are dark streaks running down from the roof, awnings, or windows that a quick wash will not clear.
Common mistakes RV and boat owners make
Storing the rig dirty lets salt and grime sit and bake on, which is much harder to remove later.
Skipping wax or sealant leaves the gel coat and paint open to the sun, so they chalk and fade faster.
Using a stiff brush on a dry surface can scratch the finish. We pre-rinse and use soft tools instead.
Forgetting the roof and awnings lets streaks build up and run down the sides every time it gets wet.
What to expect on the day
We come to your driveway, storage lot, or marina area and walk the rig with you first.
We wash from the top down, then remove oxidation and polish the faded spots.
We seal the surface and clean the inside, including windows and storage areas.
Times vary with size. A small boat is a few hours, while a large RV full detail can take most of a day.
How to keep your rig looking good
Rinse off salt and grime soon after a trip on the bay or the open water.
Keep a fresh wax or sealant on the gel coat and paint to fight the strong San Diego sun.
Use a cover or park in shade during long storage to slow fading and chalking.
Book a clean and seal before you store it, so the surfaces stay protected until your next trip.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you come to where my RV or boat is parked?
Yes. We are fully mobile and work at driveways, storage lots, and marina areas across San Diego. We bring our own water, power, and gear, so you do not have to move the rig. This is a big help with boats and RVs, since hauling them to a shop is a hassle most owners would rather skip.
How long does RV or boat detailing take?
It depends on the size and the shape it is in. A small boat or a compact trailer may take a few hours. A large RV full detail can take most of a day, since the roof, tall sides, and full interior all need real time. We give you a time estimate when we set the quote.
Can you remove oxidation from fiberglass?
Yes. Oxidation is the chalky, faded layer the sun leaves on gel coat and fiberglass. We use polishing steps to cut through it and bring back the gloss, then seal the surface to protect it. Heavy oxidation takes more passes, but most faded boats and RVs come back looking far brighter.
Why is pricing listed as 'from'?
RVs and boats vary a lot in length, height, and condition, so one flat price would not be fair. We set the final price after a quick look or a few details from you. The listed price is a starting point, and we always give you a clear, free quote before any work begins.
Can you detail the inside of my RV?
Yes. We clean the cabin, seats, counters, surfaces, windows, and storage areas so it is fresh for your next trip. Months in storage let dust and a musty smell settle in. A full interior clean clears that out, so the rig feels ready to live in when you hit the road again.
Do you protect against salt damage?
Yes. Salt from San Diego Bay and the ocean is hard on boats and coastal RVs. A wash plus a fresh wax or sealant helps fight the salt film and water spotting. Rinsing soon after a trip and keeping the surface sealed are the best ways to slow salt damage over the long run.
Can you handle a large Class A motorhome?
Yes. We have the gear and the reach for big roofs and tall sides on large Class A motorhomes. A bigger rig simply takes more time and product. We will walk it with you first, agree on what to cover, and give you a price that fits the size of the job.
Should I detail before storing my boat or RV?
Yes, it is one of the smartest times to do it. Cleaning and sealing before storage protects the gel coat and paint from sun and salt while the rig sits. It also keeps grime from baking on, so the surface stays in good shape and the next trip starts with a clean, ready rig.
Do you clean trailers too?
Yes. We can wash and clean boat trailers and utility trailers along with the boat or RV they carry. Trailers pick up road grime, salt from the launch ramp, and rust spots over time. Cleaning them keeps the whole setup looking sharp and helps slow rust on the metal parts.
How do I get a quote?
Call or text us with your RV or boat size, the type of rig, and where it is parked. A few photos help too. We will give you a free quote and a time estimate. Once you book, we come to your driveway, storage lot, or marina area and handle the whole job on site.
Can you wax just the topsides of my boat?
Yes. If you only want the topsides, the hull, or a certain area done, we can focus there. Many owners ask for oxidation removal and wax on the sun-beaten sides while skipping the rest. Tell us what you need and we will build a quote around just that part of the boat.
Do you detail campervans and small trailers?
Yes. We detail campervans, teardrop trailers, and small towables along with big rigs. These are popular for weekend trips to the desert and the coast, and they get dusty and sun-baked fast. We clean the inside and out and seal the surfaces so they stay fresh between adventures.
