Dear Mr. & Mrs. Biscuits,

POLISHING by HAND??!!!!.....Yikes.....

Green Ox - Special Formula I developed for USE WITH Drum Polishers! But no fear - Green Ox CAN be used with OTHER Power Tools! By my friend......by hand......VERY, VERY HARD TO DO!!!

Do you have an oscillating sander (Electric)? IF you do, Get yourself some THICK - TURKISH Towels (you CAN buy by the yard at larger Fabric Stores.), cut some pieces to fix sander (wrap around so you can secure). Apply Green Ox to surface - SPARINGLY - in a 4' x 4' area. Start cutting procedure, to remove oxidation. (I will include - FULL - Step by Step - DETAILED instructions with the Green Ox). Change toweling often, with each 4' x 4' area - new towel.

AFTER you finish cutting the surface.

Put on a Fresh Towel on your sander, apply a scant amount of Supershine to surface. Try to 'dry' wipe it on. (Too much polish will cause you a lot of TROUBLE!) Work it with the clean towel wrapped sander. NOW - watch the shine Pop-UP QUICK!

When you done Polishing the entire trailer with Supershine - Apply the Polymer Sealer (2 coats is best), and you're done!

Met-All WAS a good polish - 30 years ago....NOT! Never and definitely - NO More!

I AM surprised that you haven't tried, 'Mothers Aluminum Polish'! A lot of Airstreamers have tried it. Please Don't. That's another product to stay away from - it is Ammonia Based!

Regards,
Jim
