Not knowing if you expect it to look like a new car or not, I can only say
that I think you will be disappointed in the finish if you are comparing it
with your new black Corvette...I can't think of any way to make a 4" brush
develop a finish like a spray booth....
I think a well polished trailer that was spray finished and well shined
would knock them flat at the rallies... and be hotter than hades in the sun...
Have fun...
