RV Oxidation Removal in Winnipeg

Is your RV looking chalky, flat, or faded? That’s oxidation—common on gelcoat and older paint, especially after Prairie sun, storage, and road film. Our multi-step restoration removes oxidation safely and brings back depth and gloss.

Signs You Need Oxidation Removal

White, powdery residue when you wipe the surface
Dull/patchy finish with poor reflections
Black streaks that reappear quickly
Wax won’t “stick” or seems to fade in weeks

What’s Included

Inspection & test spot to confirm achievable results
Foam pre-wash, degreasing, and decontamination
Machine compounding to cut through oxidation
Refining polish to restore clarity and gloss
Choice of sealant/wax or ceramic coating upgrade for longer protection
Trim rejuvenation; exterior glass cleaned

Result Expectation: On gelcoat, typical significant improvement with 60–90% oxidation removal depending on severity and material. Deep, porous, or neglected surfaces may require wet sanding (we’ll advise before proceeding).

Turnaround: Generally 2–5 days based on size/severity.

Pricing: Per linear foot + condition; on-site assessment recommended.

FAQs

Will the oxidation come back?

Over time, yes—UV and weather will slowly dull the surface. Protection and gentle washing extend results.

Can you save faded decals?

We work carefully around decals; some may be too sun-baked to restore and may require replacement.

Do you wet sand?

In many cases wet sanding is necessary for very heavy oxidation removal.

Is waxing enough for chalky RVs?

No. Wax won’t fix heavy oxidation; it must be removed first.
