    It always amazes me to see how beautiful the Airstreams you polish look! You've definitely mastered the technique. Is there a product you use to seal the aluminum once polished to help keep it looking great? Do you think Rainex is a good or bad idea? Keep the videos coming please!

    Does the polish look go away again?

    • @militia814
      @militia814 4 роки тому +1

      It will always oxide and turn “dull”. You’ll need to polish the trailer around once a year if not treated. After this “heavy lifting” polish process, the trailer becomes easier to polish and won’t require as much effort. There are products out there to coat the polished aluminum to help slow the oxidation process. However, yes, you will need to keep polishing it from time to time.

    How do you know when to stop polishing. And can you burn it like when buffing regular paint

    • @matthewnorman4724
      @matthewnorman4724 3 роки тому

      Once u sand it correctly and cut it
      It will shine like new if u sat there u can burn it but it’s unlikely and can be fixed as where paint has to be repainted this just needs to be Re sanded
