Had the old girl detailed today. What do ya think?

Not bad for a 24 year old.

She's a beauty! What did the detailers use on the coach? And (I know it's rude to ask)...if you don't mind sharing, how much did you pay? I started mine yesterday and my body is telling me to hire a detailer ?

Wow. I hope mine looks that good in 12 years, much less 24. If it works and runs as good as it looks, I would say "you da man".

Thanks, I'm not sure about the spray stuff used (maybe a degreaser?) but ended with dionized water, leaf blower for the water spots and then a lot of buffing (wax) and polishing. The detailer (5 Star Detailing in Orlando area) does a fabulous job and is very particular. They live here in Orlando but go up north in the summer - he has a couple big contracts up there, then comes back here in the winter. This is the 2nd time he's done ours. He said $10/ft to anyone who asked, (as long as it's not a gelcoat, oxidized mess) and it's well worth it. There was a few people stopping by and watching the transformation take place. They all took his card. She didn't look horrible before but not as shiny and waxed.

@ AbdRahim - on the way up here I noticed the charging gauge was below 12V. I stopped at a fast food place a mile away from the CG and shut it down - wrong move. Had to buy 2 new chassis batts from the Advanced Auto store that I died behind. They came out and tested the batteries and they carted out the new batts, I installed, they carted the old away plus they tested the output of the alternator, it was around 13, I'm thinking I need a new Alternator - I have 2 weeks to figure it out.

I think she’s a classy, mature lady! And, I thought that a couple of years ago when I saw her in person in a Newmar service bay when you were having some work done on her at Nappanee. I love to see classic vehicles being used, enjoyed and properly maintained.
