How to Clean for Long-Term Vehicle Storage

To clean your vehicle for long-term RV storage, use the following RV cleaning checklist:

  1. Use car wash soap, water, and a microfiber cloth or wash mitt to remove dirt and build-up from the exterior, and then rinse thoroughly.

  2. Clean the wheels and undercarriage with wheel cleaner to rinse dust and salt build-up off the wheel wells.

  3. Fully dry the vehicle with a microfiber cloth to prevent scratches and water spots.

  4. Apply a vehicle or RV wax to safeguard the finish.

  5. Use glass cleaner to wipe down all windows and mirrors.

  6. Detail the interior by wiping down surfaces with an interior cleaner, vacuuming, and removing all food and trash to prevent odors or pest infestations.

  7. Cover the vehicle with a breathable vehicle cover to keep debris off without trapping moisture in.
