RE: [VAC]Sealing polish trailer



Thanks for the tips.  I have tried to call Rolite this week but they seem to
be closed for the holiday.  So I have been dabbling with various methods of
removing the grime and oxidation.

The first thing I learned is that you can't use any abrasive pad of any sort
on the Airstream.  Scratches happen so easily.

While Aluminum cleaner and NevrDull work, they are far too slow to do a
whole unit.  Today I tried laquer remover and a rotary buffer to polish it
off.  That was the fastest solution yet.  I can only assume that if I get
the right chemistry, like Rolite and a pneumatic buffer, that it would make
the job manageable in my time frame.

I will keep you posted when I score a touchdown :)
