Matti's Detailing, PPF, Tint & Wrap
Coventry auto detailing shop with 152 five-star reviews for wash, wax, ceramic coating, tint and PPF.
Rhode Island is small enough that a dirty trailer stands out. Five trailer washing detailers serve the state, and they average 4.8 stars, so the bar is decent. Four of the five will come to you, which matters when your rig is parked and unhitched. Three offer ceramic coating, four do wax. Here is what to expect and what to ask before anyone touches your fiberglass.

Matti's Detailing, PPF, Tint & Wrap carries a perfect 5.0 across 152 reviews and handles mobile work, ceramic, wash, trailer washing and wax. KPK Auto Detail sits at 4.9 from 112 reviews with the same spread of services. DetailTech & Tint RI has the deepest review base at 445 and still holds 4.8. Borges Collision Center Inc is the odd one out: 4.9 from 53 reviews, trailer washing only, but it is the single detailer here listing roof cleaning and fleet work. If your trailer roof is growing a green fringe, that is your call. Dr Sponge Detailing rounds things out at 4.3 from 6 reviews, mobile and wax-friendly. Ask each one the same question first: do they bring their own water and power, or do you supply the hookup?
A faded front cap does not come back with wax. It comes back with a machine and a compound, and that step costs more than a wash and wax because it takes hours. Tell the detailer on the phone that the cap is chalky and ask whether oxidation removal is included or added. Four of the five here offer wax and three offer ceramic, so most can go past a basic wash. Ceramic on a trailer is not cheap and it is not permanent. It needs a proper decontamination wash every so often to keep beading, and a coating over chalky gel coat seals the chalk in. Get the fiberglass corrected first, then decide.
Four of the five detailers are mobile, which suits a trailer that is hard to move or already set up for the season. Confirm whether the water and runoff stay on your property, since some towns and associations have opinions about wash water in the street. Borges lists roof cleaning, and one detailer in five offering it means you should ask specifically rather than assume. Fleet work shows up too, useful if you run more than one unit. Prices are quoted by length or by condition, so ask for the rate per foot and what triggers an upcharge. Around Providence, Coventry, Warren, East Greenwich and Manville, expect scheduling to fill in spring.
Five are listed, averaging 4.8 stars. Four of the five offer mobile service, so they can come to where the trailer sits. Three do ceramic coating and four do wax. If you need roof cleaning, only one detailer lists it, so call ahead and ask directly.
DetailTech & Tint RI has 445 reviews and a 4.8 rating. Matti's Detailing, PPF, Tint & Wrap has 152 reviews at a perfect 5.0, and KPK Auto Detail has 112 at 4.9. More reviews generally means more trailers through the bay, which is worth weighing against a slightly lower score.
No. Wax sits on top and does nothing for dead gel coat. The cap needs compounding and polishing to remove the oxidation, then wax or coating to protect what is left. Ask the detailer whether oxidation removal is part of the quote or an add-on, and expect it to take longer than a wash.
It helps if the surface is corrected first. Coating over chalky gel coat traps the chalk underneath. Three of the five detailers here offer ceramic, so compare what prep each one includes. Upkeep means regular washing with a coating-safe soap, not just an occasional rinse at the campground.
