- [Narrator] Here at Marathon Coach,
we have a coach washing procedure
and some specific products that we use to wash our coaches.
The first thing we do is we prep the coach to be washed.
One of the first things you wanna remember
is not to wash the coach in direct sunlight.
Try to find a shady area or early in the morning
or maybe late in the afternoon.
When we pull it into our wash rack,
we drop the front of the coach so any water on top
of the coach can drain off easily.
A big help is to keep your coach waxed,
you know, it greatly reduces the scratches
and water spotting.
If you were to go as far as have a TDS meter
to measure the parts per million in the water.
Anything over 20 parts per million will leave water spots
and with a zero parts per million,
we can let the coach drip dry.
We have a heated pressure washer in our wash rack,
a seds system that we doused the coach in seds,
we use a microfiber mitt to scrub the coach.
We have four specific buckets that we use
for the coach washing.
First one is a wheel bucket,
and then we have the bug degreaser bucket
and then comes the shampoo
and then our fourth bucket is a rinse bucket.
And when you're using a pressure washer,
you wanna make sure that you don't get a too,
fine of a spray close to the coach.
We don't wanna be damaging any paint.
We have the special tools for washing the coach,
like the microfiber mitt on the pole,
the soft Fender brushes.
We have a McGuire's product that we use specifically here
for microfiber wash mitts,
the McGuire's super degreaser, McGuire's hyper wash
and we use McGuire's shampoo plus.
Alright first step, under the wash procedure,
wet down all the wheels and tires and go around
and scrub them first.
Use that soft Fender brush for the tires and mud flaps.
The second step is windshield and the front of the coach.
We're also going to do the mirrors and the any
of the stainless steel.
And we use a dedicated mitt and a mitt on a pole,
spray on the super degreaser that we use
and let it soak in a little bit.
We wanna keep it wet as much as possible.
Scrub it off or rinse it off.
Then let's go to step three,
washing the sides of the coach.
We've got a special sensor here that we set
it down the whole side of the coach
and then start scrubbing it.
(soft music)
using the microfiber mitt of course.

And then you wanna rinse it off real good.
And one of the most extensive processes we have here
is rinsing the coach.
We don't wanna leave any soap residue
on the side of the coach.

Okay, then go to the rear of the coach.
Now if you've driven in the rain
or going over the mountain pass,
you know the rear of the coach or even your tow vehicle,
can be very dirty and gritty.
That's where that pressure washer or your hose comes in.
You wanna wash as much of that stuff off the rear
of the coach or your tow vehicle as possible,
because you don't wanna be scrubbing it in the paint
and scratching the paint on those things.
You wash it down sends it real good.
Scrub it down and then rinse it off as best you can.
If you're not using filtered water,
you might want to have some microfiber towels on a pole
so you can dry the coach off real well.
You can use a squeegee,
one of those squeegees
to squeegee off the windows real well,
but you don't wanna use that on the paint.
If you're using filtered water,
you can let it drip dry
and won't cause any water spotting on the coach.
If you want to use tire dressings on your coach,
you can refer to the hard copy that we have,
you should be able to find it online.
I hope this helps you guys to keep your coaches clean
and scratch free.
All right, you guys have a good day.
