Des Moines Auto Detail and Doctor Detail Des Moines round out the central Iowa cluster.
Mobile work and where it fits
Nine of the 13 trailer detailers are mobile, so the wash happens where the trailer sits. Ask two things before you book. First, whether they bring their own water and power, because a lot that backs onto a field may not have a spigot you want to share. Second, ask the price per foot rather than a flat number, since a 24-foot travel trailer and a 40-foot fifth wheel are not the same job. If you store in Des Moines, Ankeny, Waukee or Cedar Rapids, a mobile crew saves you hauling a dirty rig across town just to sit in a line.
Oxidation, wax and coating
Faded fiberglass on the front cap is the thing most owners notice first, and wax alone will not fix it. Oxidation removal is a separate step, and OCDetailing and A & A Auto Detailing both list it. Get the oxidation stripped before anyone talks about wax or ceramic, or you are sealing dullness in. Twelve of the 13 detailers offer wax and 10 offer ceramic coating. Ceramic costs more and asks more of you afterward: mild soap, no abrasive brushes, and a recheck now and then. A good wax job is cheaper and fine if the trailer lives outside and gets used hard.

Questions people ask
How many trailer washing detailers are in Iowa?
There are 13 trailer wash detailers listed in Iowa, with an average rating of 4.8. Nine of them are mobile, so they travel to your trailer instead of you hauling it in. Ten offer ceramic coating and 12 offer wax.
Can they wash my trailer at my storage lot?
Nine of the 13 are mobile, so this is usually possible. Ask whether they bring their own water and power, and clear it with the storage lot first. Some lots restrict washing on site, and that is a rule to check before the crew arrives.
Should I get oxidation removed before wax?
Yes. Wax over chalky, faded fiberglass just locks the dullness in. Oxidation removal is a separate step, and OCDetailing and A & A Auto Detailing both list it. Have that done first, then decide between wax and ceramic coating.
Do any of them clean the roof?
Five of the 13 detailers clean roofs, and OCDetailing also lists awning work. Roof cleaning is worth it on an RV because the runoff causes the black streaks down the sides, and a crew up top can notice a failing seal early.
