RV, Boat & Motorcycle Detailing - Specialty Vehicle Care

Specialty Vehicles Deserve Specialty Care

The Treasure Valley is built for outdoor recreation. Lucky Peak, Arrowrock Reservoir, Payette Lake, and the Boise River are all within easy reach of Eagle - which means boats, RVs, travel trailers, and motorcycles are a way of life here. These vehicles represent significant investments and face harsh conditions: sun exposure during storage, water damage, road grime from towing, and the general wear that comes from adventure.

At Gemstar Eagle Auto Detailing, we provide professional mobile auto detailing for RVs, boats, motorcycles, and other specialty vehicles using techniques and products specifically designed for each type. A motorhome is not a car, and a gel coat hull is not automotive paint - our approach reflects that.

RV and Travel Trailer Detailing

Exterior Wash and Decontamination

RVs accumulate road film, bug splatter, black streaks from rubber seals, and oxidation that dull the finish over seasons of use and storage. Our exterior wash covers the full surface area - walls, roof, bumpers, storage compartments, and wheel wells - using soft brushes, foam applicators, and cleaners formulated for fiberglass, painted aluminum, and gel coat surfaces.

Oxidation Removal

Fiberglass and gel coat RV surfaces oxidize heavily under Idaho’s intense sun, turning chalky and faded. We use machine polishing with cutting compounds designed for gel coat to remove the oxidized layer and restore the original gloss and color depth. This process brings a dull, weathered RV back to life.

Roof Cleaning

The roof is the most neglected surface on any RV. Rubber (EPDM and TPO) roofs collect dirt, mold, and UV damage that can lead to leaks if left untreated. We clean, treat, and protect the roof with appropriate products for the membrane type.

Seal and Trim Treatment

Rubber seals around doors, windows, and slide-outs are protected with UV-resistant conditioner to prevent cracking and deterioration. Exterior trim is cleaned and dressed.

Interior Detailing

RV interiors combine automotive surfaces with residential materials - upholstered seating, carpet, laminate countertops, vinyl flooring, galley appliances, and bathroom fixtures. We clean all of it: vacuuming, steam cleaning, surface wiping, glass cleaning, and sanitizing the kitchen and bathroom areas.

Pricing

RV and travel trailer detailing starts at $12 per foot of vehicle length for exterior service. A 30-foot Class C motorhome, for example, starts at $360 for an exterior wash and seal. Interior detailing and oxidation removal are quoted based on condition and scope.

Boat Detailing

Hull and Topsides

Whether you have a fiberglass runabout, an aluminum fishing boat, or a wake boat, the exterior surfaces need specific care. We wash, decontaminate, and polish gel coat to remove oxidation, water spots, and scum lines. Aluminum surfaces receive appropriate cleaners that brighten without etching.

Gel Coat Polishing and Protection

Gel coat on boats oxidizes even faster than RV gel coat because of combined sun and water exposure. We machine polish the gel coat to remove oxidation, then apply a marine-grade wax or sealant to protect against UV and water damage through the boating season.

For boats that need the ultimate protection, ask about our marine ceramic coating application - it provides years of protection with a self-cleaning hydrophobic surface that makes maintenance between uses effortless.

Interior Cleaning

Boat interiors face unique challenges: vinyl seating, marine carpet, built-in coolers, livewells, and bilge areas that harbor mildew. We clean and condition vinyl, shampoo marine carpet, sanitize storage compartments, and treat surfaces with marine-grade UV protectants.

Pricing

Boat detailing is priced per foot starting at $12 per foot for an exterior wash and wax. Full details including interior cleaning, gel coat correction, and protection are quoted based on the boat’s size and condition.

Motorcycle Detailing

Motorcycles require a delicate touch - chrome, painted fairings, leather seats, exposed engine components, and intricate mechanical parts all demand different cleaning approaches. We detail motorcycles by hand using products appropriate for each surface:

• Paint and fairings - Wash, clay bar, polish, and seal/wax
• Chrome and stainless - Metal polish and sealant
• Engine and mechanical - Degreasing, detailing brushes, and protective dressing
• Wheels and tires - Spoke cleaning, rim polish, tire dressing
• Leather and vinyl - Cleaning and conditioning
• Windscreen - Cleaned and treated with water-repellent coating

Motorcycle detailing starts based on size and level of service. Contact us for a specific quote.

Why Specialty Vehicle Detailing Matters in Idaho

Idaho’s recreation season is intense but relatively short. Most boats and RVs spend several months in storage during winter, and the condition they go into storage determines how they emerge in spring. A properly cleaned, waxed, and sealed RV or boat resists oxidation, mold, and UV damage during storage far better than one that was put away dirty.

We recommend a full detail at the end of the season before winter storage and a maintenance wash and inspection at the start of the next season.

Mobile Service for Oversized Vehicles

Large motorhomes, fifth wheels, and boats on trailers are difficult to transport. Our mobile detailing service comes to your storage location, driveway, or marina with a fully self-contained unit. We can detail your RV or boat wherever it sits - no need to tow or drive it anywhere.
