I used a tan roloc disc to get any Knicks or scratches out that your fingernail could get caught in then I took sos pad wet and went over the aluminum, make sure you go in the same direction with the pad, than I buff it with heavy compound, and than buff it with mothers billet polish...and the pics you see there are what it looks likes a year and a half later that's how long ago I did it, now it hasn't been in the water, but I think it held up pretty good, now I just have to take some mothers over it again....here are some pics of what it looked like when I did it...[ATTACH=CONFIG]503239[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]503240[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]503241[/ATTACH]

it really wasn't that bad to polish and just did the outside of the rails only and painted the inside with silver paint, wasn't buying a new trailer, so one of my favorite things to do is, taking something looks like crap and making it look a whole lot better...I haven't polished the trailer in a year and half and it still look good, if you polish it and put a coat of wax on, it will stay that way for a while...

Thanks for all the compliments, keeps me motivated to keep going on, theres been a lot of set backs, I hate doing stuff over and over, but with a project this size it's inevitable your going to have to go over stuff, it's the I should know better stuff that gets me the most, my last stupid thing was with a 3M double sided foam pad, big set back because of that pad and me not paying attention to what's going on .....
