Re: [SilverStreak] POLISHING

Depends on the climate and where the trailer is parked, temperature,
humidity, air pollution.
Also depends on how shiny you have to have it all the time.
Aluminum will form a thin coating of AlOx (corundum) beginning when the
film of polish is wiped or washed off.
This is the same coating material that anodization produces. The
difference is that when the coating builds up to a microscopic thickness
the oxygen is blocked off and stops further oxidation, while anodizing
continues building the thickness up electrochemically.
Waxing will help make a polishing job last longer. Wax will, though, have
to be removed to re-polish, so it makes repolishing harder.
If you do this, don't try to polish the entire skin before waxing. Do a
small area at a time, from one sheet joint to the next.

It's not stupid to remove anodization and polish, it's just a matter of
what you want to spend your life doing.
