What Our Happy Customers Are Saying

Mobile Caravan Detailing in Melbourne

Searching for caravan detailing near me? Ted Car Detailing is a fully mobile caravan detailer serving Melbourne and the surrounding suburbs. We come to your home, driveway, storage yard, or workplace. No towing, no workshop drop-offs, no hassle.

Caravans are exposed to open, harsh environmental conditions and take more wear and tear than regular cars. They sit outside for months, travel long distances through dust, bugs, and rain, and collect sun damage, bird droppings, tree sap, road grime, and water spots across every surface.

A standard car wash doesn’t fix any of these problems at the level it needs because a caravan has large exterior panels, a roof that collects grime and mould, an awning that traps moisture and dirt, windows and seals needing careful attention, and a full interior with living spaces, kitchen areas, and cupboards, all requiring different cleaning methods and products.

Ted Car Detailing has the experience to handle every part of it and brings the entire mobile car detailing service directly to you across Melbourne and the western suburbs.

What Is Included in Our Caravan Detailing Service?

Every caravan is different. A well-maintained van needing a pre-trip freshen-up requires a different service than one returning from months on the road with red dirt worked into every seal and panel. That’s why we perform every caravan detailing job to your caravan’s size, condition, and goals. Here is a full breakdown of our caravan detailing services.

Exterior Caravan Washing

The exterior is the most visible and exposed surface of a caravan. Bugs, bird droppings, road salt, and dust can damage it if not cleaned promptly. That’s why a proper exterior wash is the starting point of every caravan cleaning service in Melbourne. We use a foam wash and hand wash process throughout the entire van to properly break down contamination before any deep cleaning begins.

What’s included in our exterior caravan detailing:

  • Pre-rinse and foam application to loosen surface contamination
  • Hand wash across all exterior panels, front, sides, and rear
  • Bug and insect splatter removal
  • Road grime, mud, and salt treatment
  • Bird dropping and tree sap removal
  • Red dust removal with appropriate chemical treatment, where applicable
  • Window and glass are clean, all exterior glass
  • Wheel, tyre, and wheel arch clean
  • Drawbar, coupling, and A-frame clean
  • Light chassis and underbody rinse available on request
  • Full exterior dry and wipe-down

How often? For caravans used regularly, we recommend an exterior caravan detailing service in Melbourne every 6–8 weeks to prevent contaminant build-up from permanently damaging paint, decals, and seals.

Caravan Roof Cleaning

A caravan roof faces direct heat year-round, collects organic debris and moisture that encourages mould and algae, and accumulates grime around every hatch, seal, and solar panel frame. Most owners never clean the roof due to the difficult access. By the time green or black discolouration becomes visible from the outside.

Our caravan roof cleaning Melbourne service covers:

  • Full roof wash and surface dirt removal across the entire panel
  • Mould and algae treatment where the surface and condition allow
  • Careful cleaning around roof hatches, vents, and inspection ports
  • Solar panel surfaces are clean of clear dust and debris build-up
  • TV antenna area and surrounding structure are wiped down
  • Silicone seals and roof join lines cleaned with care to avoid damage
  • Front cap and top section are detailed as part of the full clean

Safe roof access depends on caravan height and design. For caravans where full roof access is unsafe, our caravan detailers carefully clean all reachable areas around seals, hatches, and solar equipment.

Caravan Awning Cleaning

Caravan awnings are frequently packed and unpacked in all sorts of conditions, dusty campsites, damp mornings, under gum trees, accumulating dirt, stains, and mold. Over time, this build-up can make the fabric look and smell and look like they need replacement, but often, it simply needs the right cleaning treatment.

Our caravan awning cleaning Melbourne service covers:

  • Full dust and surface dirt removal from awning fabric and frame
  • Bird dropping treatment and careful removal across the fabric
  • Mould and mildew treatment on fabric surfaces, where possible
  • Outdoor staining and grime removal across the full awning length
  • Awning frame, arms, and roller housing wiped down thoroughly
  • Post-clean condition notes are reported back to the customer

Results vary based on the awning’s age, fabric type, and how long staining has been present. We are transparent about what mobile caravan detailing can achieve; older stains may lighten significantly, but might not completely disappear.

Caravan Interior Detailing

A caravan interior is a compact home. It collects everything a home collects, in a smaller space, with less ventilation. Cooking smells absorbed into the upholstery, dust in every overhead locker, grime around the sink and splashback, condensation marks on the windows, and a bathroom that needs proper sanitation rather than a quick spray.

Our caravan interior detailing covers:

  • Full vacuum — floors, seat cushions, storage compartments, under-bed areas
  • Hard floor clean
  • Seat and upholstery clean, appropriate to fabric type (fabric, vinyl, or leather)
  • Bench tops, kitchen area, sink, and splashback
  • All cupboards — inside and out
  • Fridge and fridge cavity
  • Tables, door trims, and interior panels
  • All interior glass and mirrors — streak-free
  • Dust removal from blinds, vents, and window mechanisms
  • Odour treatment
  • Bathroom, toilet, and shower area where present

Our goal with your caravan and motorhome detailing in Melbourne is to make them smell clean, look clean, and feel comfortable to stay in.

Caravan Polishing and Oxidation Removal

UV exposure is the biggest enemy of a caravan’s appearance over time. It causes paint and gelcoat to dull, fade, and develop a chalky white haze across the panels. This is called oxidation. Caravan cut-and-polishing can reverse a significant amount of that damage.

Our caravan polishing service includes:

  • Machine polish of all exterior panels using professional equipment
  • Light to moderate polish on faded and chalky surfaces
  • Swirl mark and light surface scratch reduction across all panels
  • Gloss and colour restoration to bring back depth and richness
  • Wax or paint sealant application to protect the restored finish
  • Condition assessment before quoting, no commitment until you know the outcome

Results depend on the caravan’s age, surface type, and the depth of oxidation. We assess photos before quoting heavy jobs and give you an honest read on what’s achievable, including whether multi-stage correction is worth pursuing on your specific van.

Pre-Sale Caravan Detailing

When a buyer scrolls your caravan listing on the marketplace, their first impression is entirely visual. A motorhome or camper trailer that photographs well and presents as clean, well-maintained, and odour-free the moment someone opens the door gives buyers no easy reason to negotiate down or walk away.

Pre-sale caravan detailing from Ted Car Detailing covers:

  • Full exterior wash and decontamination
  • Roof and awning cleaning
  • All glass — interior and exterior, streak-free
  • Complete interior clean, odour treatment, and cupboard detail
  • Kitchen, bench tops, bathroom — all buyer-visible areas addressed
  • Wheels, tyres, and drawbar are detailed
  • Polish option to lift exterior gloss for photography
  • Ceramic coating option — adds a genuine selling point you can advertise to buyers

For most sellers, the presale caravan detailing cost is recovered in a higher asking price or a faster sale. A well-presented caravan attracts serious buyers and reduces the likelihood of low offers based solely on appearance.

Caravan Ceramic Coating and Paint Protection

Ceramic coating is the most effective long-term exterior protection available for caravans. Once cured, a quality coating bonds to the surface at a molecular level and provides benefits that wax or sealant alone cannot match:

  • UV protection — significantly slows paint and colour fading on panels exposed year-round
  • Hydrophobic surface — water beads and rolls off, carrying surface dirt, bird droppings, road salt, and environmental fallout don’t bond as aggressively to coated surfaces
  • Easier maintenance — a correctly coated caravan is dramatically easier to wash between details
  • Gloss enhancement — adds depth and clarity to the finish
  • Resale value protection — a documented ceramic application is a genuine selling point

Caravan ceramic coating Melbourne is best applied after polishing, on a clean, prepared surface. For new or well-maintained vans, coating options differ based on product type, durability, and warranty period. We’ll discuss what’s appropriate for your caravan’s condition and how you use it.

Caravan Detailing Cost in Melbourne

Caravan detailing cost in Melbourne is genuinely variable, and any detailer who quotes a flat price without seeing the van is either guessing or limiting the scope of the work.

What factors drive the cost of caravan detailing in Melbourne:

  • Van length and overall size — a 16-footer and a 24-footer are fundamentally different jobs
  • Exterior condition — light dust versus season-end grime versus heavy red outback soil versus deep oxidation
  • Interior condition — maintained versus a full deep clean requirement
  • Roof and awning condition — clean or neglected; accessible or complex
  • Services required — wash only, full detail, polish, ceramic coating or a combination
  • Red dust — outback trips add significant time and product cost; hardened red soil that has bonded to the surface may not be fully removable
  • Access to water and power at your location
  • Your suburb within Melbourne and surrounds
  • Hourly Rate – some caravan detailers also charge hourly because time can vary depending on size and condition.

Why Caravan Detailing Is Different From a Normal Car Wash

A caravan is a fundamentally different vehicle, larger, more complex and built from a wider range of materials than any car on the road. That’s why it cannot be cleaned with random car washing services.

What makes caravan cleaning service different is:

  • Surface area and panel size — flat, expansive panels that hold contamination differently to the curved surfaces of a car and take significantly longer to clean properly.
  • Multiple surface materials — fibreglass gelcoat, aluminium composite and painted steel each require different products, techniques and polishing approaches
  • Roof complexity — a full-length roof with solar panels, vents, antennas and silicone seals that need careful, surface-specific treatment throughout.
  • Silicone joints and rubber seals — external seals that keep water out and degrade quickly if exposed to the wrong pressure or chemicals during cleaning.
  • Awning fabric — a material that requires entirely different products to the van’s painted or gel surfaces to clean without causing damage.
  • Interior living scale — a full kitchen, lounge, bedroom and bathroom area that takes far more time and care to clean thoroughly than any car interior.
  • Decals and external graphics — caravan graphics that need product selection that won’t lift, fade or damage the adhesive during washing.

Our professional caravan detailing in Melbourne is built around every one of these factors.
