Tyler gots a lot of skill. You made that thing look like a mirror finish Sr. I thank you guys for the info on such a awesome video you guys and gals explained everything easy to understand.. ty

[@giggikicks3164]

Fabulous! I’m bringing my new RV find to Georgia! Tyler be ready!

[@carolmadge4012]

Carla and Todd restoration of old RV'S . when finished will look like new, and better, in and out !!!!😎😎😎

[@RunawayRoses]

Carol Madge, that is true. We can customize it to meet our needs. It would be ashamed to buy brand new and then have to customize on top of that 😁👍. Thank you for watching!

[@mondavou9408]

Thanks to both of you. Tyler - Awesome information!.

[@travelingrvrv4608]

Thanks for your recommendation. He just finished my 1993 Casita and it looks GREAT!!

[@RunawayRoses]

@TheTraveling RV that is so good to hear. He's such a gift and so good at what he does. We're glad that he could help you out. We need to get him to come out and polish/wax our new camper. It's great to hear that he got some business from our video. Thank you for watching!

[@Melidontcare]

One of my favorite videos !

[@gregoryamaral4838]

Taylor is the star of the show !!

[@williambranham6249]

Thanks. Northern light is looking vsry good. Been following you along.

[@RunawayRoses]

William Branham thank you and we appreciate you watching! 👍

[@RickMartinYouTube]

very informative - Floridian here and might make a trip up to GA for the Casita

[@moodberry]

I have been looking for REAL advice about polishing my RV for about a year now. I think from what I heard here that his info is 100% correct. I made many mistakes trying to polish my RV, and this video set me straight. However, I cannot find the abrasive he is using, or the synthetic wax mentioned at the end. Can you tell us what those products actually are? Also, he was using a non-orbital buffer. Is it OK to use an orbital one?

[@GovG33k]

The advice to contact a boat detailer vs an automotive one was a good point to make.

[@Local_Boydidgood]

Typically, car guys can't do a boat at all well and a boat detailer tends to be too heavy-handed to fitness paint on a car. They should be using totally different products as well. More oily for gelcoat, less so for paint. Marine paint is like airplane paint, sometimes exactly the same, so it's thick and strong unlike modern car paints and clear coats.

[@solodad]

Wow awesome job, thanks for the infos. See you next time.

[@RunawayRoses]

Thank you so much Claude! We are very excited about how it turned out. 👍

[@smithcreekmill7977]

Great video full of useful information. I have this on my list of items to do to my truck camper!

Best video on this topic so far. 👏

[@1951Roy]

Thanks for the tips, I have never been a fan of the Poly-coat. Last owner of my Casita use it and I'm still trying to remove the yellowing.

[@RunawayRoses]

Roy, thanks for watching! See you soon.

Thanks Guys for this informative video ... just watched a few of your vids ... Great channel, new subscriber. I have a 2005 TAB That i re-did the inside late last fall. Now we are going to seal the roof and wax/polish it good. So this was inspiring me to get busy once the weather warms up here in Minnesota. Look forward to weekend camping in MN. with My Wife.

[@HomeARoam]

We just bought a new-to-us RV and the gel coat is pretty dull looking in spots. This was so helpful for making sure we will restore it the right way. Good tip on looking for a marine detailer :-)

[@RunawayRoses]

@Home A Roam, we are so glad that you found this helpful, thanks for letting us know and thanks for watching!

[@scottomalley3948]

Where are you based out of? My company, 10-4 Detailing would be happy to do it. I personally do all of the details, and have about 7 years experience polishing on both paint and gel coat on everything from show cars, Semi Trucks, boats, etc.

[@HomeARoam]

@@scottomalley3948 Thanks Scott. We are based out of BC Canada. Where is your company located?

[@miltonhawkins6834]

I'd like to say I'm a car detailer but I also do boats planes rvs etc. Personally I think he could finish with a soft polishing wool pad and provide a better shine. Also use a white paper plate to look at the reflection and find any missed imperfections. Not knocking just wanted to give some extra as I've been doing this for a while out in Arizona and I deal with lots of RVs boats and cars.

[@rickytumax7483]

So it’s the same as a car ?

[@wanderlustdetailer]

@@rickytumax7483 nope not exactly! But similar approach’s to both

Looks great, I know you both must be happy the results.

[@RunawayRoses]

Gary Mitchell, yes we are. We couldn't be happier, it almost looks new. Thanks for watching!

[@jaycee1373]

Around the 15:41 mark, did Tyler polish out the swirls before applying the sealant or did he allow the sealant to “fill in the swirls”? Basically like when he was trying to explain why not to use a one-step (all in one) product. Maybe his finishing pad buffs out the swirls at the same time he’s applying the sealant? Thank you for sharing!

[@davidbrickey5139]

That guy did amazing job on your RV.

[@edwilson9243]

Looks awesome !!

[@RunawayRoses]

@Ed Wilson, thank you. We are very happy with how it turned out. 😁

[@flyingjoed]

Hey Carla! Long time no see! So funny I came across you guys' video while learning how to cut and polish gelcoat. My boat is at Aqualand and I'm in the process of repairing blisters on the bottom and polishing all the oxidation off of it before putting it back in the water. Thanks for y'alls tips and I hope you've been well! Jody Cochran

[@RunawayRoses]

Hey Jody! Yes, been a very long time. I hope you and your son are doing well. This KZbin thing is one of our hobbies as you probably can see from this video. If you have any issues, you can always call the guy that we used in this video, he's very reasonable and he's awesome. We've had him do two of our campers since they're all fiberglass and we've had many friends use him that we've recommended him to as well. If you're like my husband Todd, you try to figure things out for yourself though. Good to hear from you! ~Carla

[@norm7081]

Great video! I cannot find the product he is using on the buffer pad via his link or Amazon. What is it specifically and where can it be purchased? Thank you. 😊

[@johnr5545]

Nice job god bless

[@Robbbbooo]

Did you notice any caulking damage after the polish? I'm guessing you just have to be gentle around the seams?

[@RVHabit]

Looks amazing. Sometimes it is worth having a pro do what they do best.

[@williambranham6249]

Yes, but I can only speak for dentists.

[@RunawayRoses]

Thanks Lou, we totally agree! 👍

[@kwuneko]

Awesome job! How much does a service like that cost for that camper if you don't mind me asking?

[@nigelio3]

Apparently he minded.

[@archmasterone]

My 24 foot Class C motorhome cost me $845.00 it looks great

[@JaridOrgeron]

@@archmasterone this is the problem most people have no clue how much this costs so they go and buy $39 worth of crap at Walmart, spend a day messing around getting half decent but nowhere near professional and say ah that’s good enough I saved $800….

[@williambranham6249]

Great pesentation . Did the guest give you the names of the two products he used on your camper? Thanks

[@RunawayRoses]

William Branham, he didn't give us the name of the products but he did reference where he got his products. You can probably call or email the company and ask them. Tyler's last name is Bennett and I think it's a small company so they'll probably know who you're referring to. He just buys his detail products from them, he does not work for them just to be clear. The company is Detail Link: detaillink.com/. Good luck!

[@oscarverduzco7437]

Did you have any luck getting the names of the products by any chance?

[@randyfrommesaarizona6927]

Watch Drakes Detailing videos for gelcoat. I’ve watched many hours of him and just used Starke Level R from Marine Detailing Supply with a rotary tool like this guy was using and 3 passes does it. Then Starke Elevate to remove swirl marks - can use a finer wool pad on the rotary or better to use a foam pad on a DA (I’m using a Rupes Mille with a foam pad), then wash with Dawn soap to strip the compound lubricants. Then follow up with Jescar Power Lock Plus (Amazon has this), let it sit at least 30 minutes before removing with microfiber rags. My final step is McKee’s 37 Nautical One Hydro Rinse SiO2 Ceramic Boat Coating (available on Amazon). This is if you have true gelcoat and not painted fiberglass.

[@aleksdjukanovic3827]

@@randyfrommesaarizona6927what if you have fiberglass? Can I still use those marine products?

[@maxgarcia7056]

I like the end result but what rv products on this video did he use? I didn't see him show us. He talked about chemical makeup and abrasives ect but what is the name of the product he is actually using? Thanks

[@Kreutloops]

Question - in the video, it seems like Tyler does not recommend using Meguiar's Marine/RV One Step Compound, but you have it as recommended in your Amazon store. Is "Meguiar's Marine/RV One Step Compound - Marine and RV Restorer That Removes Heavy Oxidation and Scratches While Restoring Gloss" good to use on an RV?

[@RunawayRoses]

Tyler likes to use some professional grade detailing compounds but I have used the Meguire's One Step Compound several times and I think it works great for the diy'er. Thanks for watching!

[@bobzak9508]

I know this is old but what heavy cut compound are u using on this rv?

[@fudogwhisperer3590]

What is the cutting compound he's using?

[@sweetds1]

My question as well but i see none have been answered

[@eplumer]

Great video, along with your earlier polishing video. What did you all do to polish the space behind the RV ladder where the rotary tool cannot reach. Was there a recommendation for hand-polishing pad and technique?

[@RunawayRoses]

@Edward Plumer he used an attachment to extend the polishing wheel so that it would fit. I don't know where he got it but it definitely seemed to make getting behind the ladder easier. Thanks!! We appreciate you watching.

[@jaycee1373]

Edward Plumer Look up rotary extensions, or rotary polisher extensions. A set of 3 different sizes will set you back about $25-$30. You can also purchase an assortment of smaller sized backing plates and pads for those extensions.

[@bayareafce]

What are the actual compound and synthetic sealer you are using?

[@chrisolsen5706]

did he ever say what he’s using in the video?!

[@stevebeaulieu2617]

Di you have any problem with your decals while waxing over ?

What did you charge to detail a camper that size?

[@moodberry]

What are teh products that he used? I went to the website that sells products, but I didn't hear where he said the exact name of the abrasive and the wax. Can you fill me in?

[@RunawayRoses]

@Doug Moody, Tyler didn't disclose that to us. He did say that if you call his distributor and ask that you could get the products from them. That information is below the video and we did have a subscriber say that they called and the company helped him to get what he needed. We appreciate you watching our video. Here's the info under the video: (For cleaning, buffing, sealing, washing and other detailing products check out where Tyler buys his products - Detaillink.com at Detail Link: detaillink.com/)

[@chrismattice7963]

A good product for oxidation removal would be Meguiars RV and Marine Heavy oxidation remover. I use Rupes Zephir coarse compound or Menzerna 400

[@brotherswei5816]

What's the name of the compound he uses?

[@LencaTecumseh]

Panchop-20-2913 grade 1200 grit

[@brotherswei5816]

@LencaTecumseh thank you.

[@Local_Boydidgood]

It should look like a mirror after the compounding. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gX-zhZmrjtWSeMk Expecting a polish or wax or whatever to increase the "shine" is what some detailers do... Some deliver the finish requested and then lock that finish in. He's almost there.

[@randyfrommesaarizona6927]

Watch Drakes Detailing videos to learn the products, tools and techniques to use for gelcoat surfaces.

[@halledwardb]

Id just like to say, My RV is a Heartland, and the the Gelcoat is much thinner than a boat, so be careful. Do some research on Filon. It's some thing stuff.

[@integritymobiledetail719]

How much did he charge if ya don’t mind

[@RunawayRoses]

Somewhere around 500 to 700, we don’t remember exactly because he spent so much time on it, we decided to tip him accordingly.

[@dantheman6931]

Is that lettering a decal or is in in the gel coat?

[@RunawayRoses]

@dan therman I believe what you after referring to is a decal. When polishing around the decals, you have to be very careful though.

[@silaslongshot941]

So, does Tyler have any contacts around south Atlanta / Newnan?

[@RunawayRoses]

I am not sure, you'll have to give him a call to find out. When we need him to do ours we just call him and he comes out but we're north of Atlanta. You can reach him at [phone] or email him at [e-mail]. Thanks for watching! ~Carla

[@tableroll1]

Wish the owner would keep quiet so the guy can get on with it.

[@jahson1078]

He is right you sure will have to pay to get it off and it will cost you its all time consuming

[@ronaldharrison74]

If i may ask what was the cost to your camper. Ron,

[@RunawayRoses]

Hi ronaldharrison74, His prices very depending on the size of the camper and the current condition of the surface he has to work with. If the surface is really bad it may take extra steps like wet sanding before even polishing. We paid $600 for ours. But it took him longer than he thought it was going too.

[@ronaldharrison74]

@@RunawayRoses Thanks for the info. Ron,

[@FunDuude]

Wow. LOL. and like always, NO one dares mention any prices. Smh.

I'm not been funny, I'm a professional detailer, and I do rv boats and cars. So for him saying " car detailer " don't know what they doing. Is bias. Gel coat is easier than clear coat just saying. There's many different grades of clear coats on cars. He's too up him self imo. Not very professional

[@AuntieMoMo05]

Helpful and NOT helpful. What product, exactly, did he use? That's what we need to know. Many thanks.

[@Limicola1]

Very annoying video as the specific products used are not clearly mentioned.

[@randyfrommesaarizona6927]

Watch Drakes Detailing videos and he tells you products to use, tools and pads to use and the techniques to use. This is if you have gelcoat and not a painted surface.

[@victoriabailey1337]

ALL YAK YAK YAK, Show him actually doing some work. Waste of time

[@drummerdgun]

What is the abrasive he’s using?

[@macallanvintage]

There is nothing difficult nor complicated with rejuvenating such heavily oxidized fibreglass surfaces. Its 100% about highly abrasive “cutting” and the fastest, most professional method is via ROTARY BUFFER + abrasive compound (as shown in video). The real issue is, in the USA and UK, many “detailers” do not know how to professionally use Rotary Buffers because most of such newcomers were actually jobless and had to quickly become “detailers”, and the only fastest way to start the business was to use the home hobbyist Dual Action machine which even a 7yr old can use…with excellent results but much slower vs a Rotary Buffer. Hence, such “detailers” tend to avoid talking about Rotary Buffers, and they propagate the American-created fallacy that Rotaries can “burn paint” via American social media. If you advertise yourself as a “professional” who fell big trees as a service, PLEASE learn to professionally use a real chainsaw. That would be a starting point of being seen as a professional. On such heavily oxidised big surfaces, only a fool would use a DA to slowly clatter away. Hugely inefficient. Such “detailers” should watch a REAL DETAILER as in the above video on how to be comfortable holding the REAL tool of a pro detailer and how to professionally handle it. If you love to do big game shooting/ hunting, and dont even know how to hold a hunting rifle or dont even own a rifle,………(Im speechless)😂😂😂
