Detailing Prices*
Services and options are charged at $70 p/hr
Please note: It can be difficult to predict how long a job will take as it depends on the condition of the motorhome and any problem areas (especially the roof). The following are average timeframes for new customers for most motorhomes I work on excluding any additional options. The timeframes refers to time on-site including set-up and removal of equipment. The timeframe for regularly detailed motorhomes is typically less.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you need to see My Car / boat / etc. in order to quote?
No, all services and options (unless otherwise specified) are based on an hourly rate. I can provide a fairly reliable estimate of the likely time (and therefore cost) required based on the services and any options selected. Please note if a vehicle has a number of problem areas (e.g. heavy levels of interior soiling, wide spread tar spotting, tree sap, severely neglected wheels, etc.) then obviously the job may take longer than average to complete to a reasonable satisfaction.
I'm not sure what service and options to choose - can you advise?
Absolutely, we can certainly discuss over the phone and then based on that we can book a 'placeholder' level of service and options and then finalise what we will performed once I am on site and had an opportunity to inspect the vehicle. Please note depending on the duration of any additional options it may or may not be possible to complete all of these on the day if these were not allowed for at the time of booking.
Will that stain, scratch, odour, etc. come out?
When on-site I can inspect the vehicle in order to advise on the likelihood that any defect or problem area will be able to be addressed by the available options. For example often scratches on paint are too deep (and require a respray to properly address), some fabric stains (e.g. spilt oil, etc.) are just too severe and some odours may be just too pervasive to be completely eliminated.
What about the weather e.g. What if it rains, WORKING IN FULL SUN? ETC.
Obviously it is true that for mobile detailers sometimes the weather can be an issue, of course if you can provide an undercover work area e.g. a shed, double carport or garage, then the job can be completed regardless. But generally speaking when working outdoors weather impacts are easily managed for example rescheduling a time to complete the job at no additional charge.
how much? Ok, let me think about it and I'll get back to you.
The good news for customers is that there is a wide variety of suppliers to choose from offering everything from a quick 'splash and dash' to a show-car level of detailing and multi-stage paint correction. The bad news is that such a wide range of choice can make matters confusing for customers especially when everybody calls themselves a 'detailer'. At the end of the day the old adage 'you get what you pay for' usually applied to detailing as it does to most purchases.
"I always take the opportunity to work on a customer's vehicle as a privilege and will bring it up to the best condition I can for the service and options chosen."
