[VAC] Re: polisher to rent and vulkem



Like RJ we spent a lot of time learning to polish.  By the time you are done
with one trailer you have the process down pretty well.  We both have put a
lot of information on polishing on our websites.  (THANKS RJ your page was a
nice help before we began!)  These resources should help save at least a
little time.  I did not keep track of the time it has taken us but a lot of
it was learning even though we had done some polishing before.  We did most
of our polishing this summer.  The Nuvite (and I think Rolite as well) does
not work well in the sun/heat.  Since we were working outside we were only
able to polish about 2 hours in the morning 2-3 days a week - so it has
taken all summer.

You can save a lot of time by doing things in the "right" order - so you do
not end up doing things over again.  This is not the order we did things in
(in the beginning) but it IS the order I wish we had done things in

Tom at Perfect polish has been following our progress on his website.  I
just sent him a summary (I have not put it on my page yet) of the steps and
amount of material needed.  If you visit his site
http://www.perfectpolish.com/#PerfectPolish and go to the USER FORUM post #3
you can read this summary.

Hope this helps - Polishing can be an exciting and rewarding experience -
especially as you see the beautiful finsih develope.  Try to do a little
each day and keep up the enthusiasm :>)
