V Detailing

V Detailing is a mobile auto and marine detailer based in Fortuna, California. It comes to you, pulling into your driveway or dock with its own water, power and polishers, and covers Trinidad, McKinleyville, Arcata, Eureka, Fortuna, Hydesville, Scotia and Rio Dell.

Cars and boats make up most of the work, but it also takes on gel coat correction for RVs, which is listed as a specialty most detailers in the county skip. Gel coat is a different material than car paint, with its own failure points like oxidation, chalking and UV damage that regular buffing will not touch. The process runs wet and dry sanding stages before compounding and polishing, which it describes as "what it actually takes to bring a chalky, sun-damaged hull or RV panel back to a wet-look shine." For an RV panel that has gone dull from sitting outside, that matters more than a quick wax job would.

There is no flat price for RV work. Every quote starts with an inspection based on size, condition, oxidation, interior needs and exterior protection, so call or text with details about your rig and expect a custom number back rather than a listed rate. Headlight restoration, a separate service at $100 to $150, comes with a 1-year warranty. No trip fee, hours or service radius beyond the towns listed are published, so ask when you call.

Google rates it 5.0 stars from 11 reviews, and it has four years of hands-on experience.

This is a good fit for an owner whose RV panels have gone chalky or faded and wants someone who treats gel coat as its own job rather than an afterthought to a car wash.
