[VAC] Re: Polishing an Airstream

Your '57 has the AlClad Aluminum finish which will polish up to a very 
high mirror finish.  Your trailer sitting in the dry climate of Texas was 
good, presuming it was not along the coast where salt air can raise the 
devil with the aluminum.  I polished a '56 and although it was only 16ft 
long it took me about 40 hrs of polishing plus all the prep. and cleanup 
at end of each day.  This was spread over a two week period.  I was 
working outside.  Find an indoor location if you can  and things will go 
faster.  You might check my web site noted below for a text document of 
my  polishing experience.  It will give you some thoughts to consider.
