Category 4.5 Elite

Category 4.5 Elite is a car detailing company based in Slidell, LA, with its address on Lafitte Avenue in New Orleans. It is mobile: you call, and it arrives at your property with the supplies it needs, whether that is a driveway, a storage lot or wherever your rig sits.

Auto detailing is its main trade, but it also details boats and RVs, working on "a recreation vehicle that needs some TLC." Specific RV types or systems are not named, so ask when you call what your rig will need, whether that is exterior wash, interior cleaning or protective coating work. It covers Slidell, New Orleans, Kenner, Gretna, Metairie and Chalmette, and says it will "travel anywhere within an 80-mile radius" of Slidell.

No trip fee, hourly rate or job prices are published, so ask about the trip fee and get a number before you commit. Hours run Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 7:00 pm, closed weekends.

The business has been "licensed and insured" and has "served the greater New Orleans area since 2007," which is close to two decades of mobile detailing work in a demanding coastal climate. It is family-owned, and reviewers name the owner, John, directly, describing work on flooded vehicles and stained interiors as well as routine details. Google rates it 4.2 stars from 24 reviews.

This is a good fit for an RV owner in the New Orleans area who wants the rig's interior or exterior cleaned up in the driveway rather than hauling it to a shop, especially before a trip or after one that left it a mess. It is not a fit for anyone needing mechanical or system repair work.
