    Does anybody have experience polishing an airstream trailer?

    My buddy is getting his ready to sell and was quoted around $2k by the dealership for a polish and seal.

    He would rather have me do the work and pay me, so I told him I would do some research about the process and get back to him. I don't want to get sucked into a never-ending job so please let me know if you have experience with this type of project.

    I will get over to his place and try out some different methods of attack on it but for now, please don't be shy to share your experience.

    Thanks!:thumb:

    Shane,

    Wow., if that's one of those aluminum things, you are going to be so busy ! :)
    I have no experience on that, but I bet that guy Renny Doyle of Attention to Details has, since he has done big jet aircraft. Perhaps check out his site, call/email him too?

    Good Luck with this !

    Thanks Dan,

    If I end up doing the job, I will probably see if tdekany can help provide some local muscle.
    I will look into the contact you mention.

    Hope this is okay to post but did a little digging and found this great article about a guy who polished his Airstream. It hasn't been updated since 2003, so there are probably different/better products on the market now, but it will probably be a good read: Polishing

    Some crazy projects on the horizon! Beyond this airstream, Dave has a contact w/ a 65' yacht that needs detailing. Will definitely call in some reinforcements for that one.
