Chuck, I have a highly polished Ercoupe and I strongly recommend using
Nuvite. Of course, knowing the correct process is just as important as
knowing the correct polish. Ron Black, Ercoupe owner and Nuvite
representative, is on this list and can tell you step-by-step how to
polish bare metal. How about it, Ron? Also, wiping the dew and rain
water off your airplane as soon as you can is very important to keep it
looking good.

I am new to Coupes and have a polished one (actually needs more
polishing) and some cleaning up of surface corrosion on the belly. I
have had some advice from polished airplane owners to paint it because
of the time involved to keep it looking good and others that encourage
me to keep it polished. Peresonally, I like the polished look but
haven't spent the time yet to keep it that way. A draw back that I
have already experienced is not being able to fly it when it might get
wet, and I live in the NW so it limits me a little. Question: what
tool (s) do you recommend (including brand names) to do the polishing
and what polish to use (I have already purchased a little Met All and
Flitz). The current condition is just OK on most of the plane and as
I mentioned the underside has a little paint left on it along with
some surface corrosion. The underside of the wings were polished when
the AD was done on the spar several years ago. Thank you for any
advice you can share.
