I personally recommend a cyclo polisher. Available here: http:\\www.topoftheline.com Irene Bernardo runs the show there, and I got excellent customer service, and a great price. (not much more than a regular polisher) -- You are looking for RPM's (3200 RPM being a standard) since polishing happens at high speed. Polishing also needs to happen in warm weather. I think many on the list use Rolite polishes, and they are good, Nuvite is also good. Rolite is available by calling Janet @ Rolite: Here's the number: 800/253.6466 Use wool pads and Rolite pre-polish to remove heavy oxidation, then switch to cotton bonnets and go through the whole three step process: Pre-polish, metal polish, and AP-300 (all Rolite products) it will be time consuming, and seem slow using a cyclo, but if it is, you are doing it right. In the end you will have a mirror finish. go here and click on the slide show to see results: http://www.airstream-bohemia.com/journal/page2.html RJ Dial set out for different results, and achieved them using foam buffs, cyclo, and Rolite. Go here to see his results (and instruction): http://www.vintageairstream.com/rr_polish1.html so there you have it. It takes time, patience, and it's dirty work, but it's not hard. for more instruction - go to Roy Lashway's site, and click on the polishing link - he's written up a step by step about his experience. http://www.zianet.com/rlashway/ Toby 2029 p.s. I used a die grinder for part of mine, and the initial results were awesome, but doing a whole trailer like that would leave your shoulders so cramped up you wouldn't appear to have a neck. And there's one more thing that I'm sure you'll learn - your trailer looks best when it's "Colored" evenly. You'll find out. Good Luck! >...My questions > is what is the > recommended buffer to use?
