It is also enough work to consider hiring $10 hr day laborers. :drink:
You're right. Dunked the trailer five times and it's almost back to square one. The problem is the trailer literally bakes in the saltwater while I'm out on my ride. By the time I hose it off, its already been in the sun for 5-8hrs.

offthefront- if you could get me the name of that spray, that'd be awesome!

Thank you

Go to any semi truck wash, usually around the big truck stops. They use a type of acid on the semi truck fuel tanks, wheels, etc. Spray on, rinse off. Will turn the aluminum bright, but not shiny polished. Its the only thing that makes my aluminum wheels on my dump truck look decent, especially if theyre pitted like mine are.

can also be found at the local boat shop under the name "toon brite", used for shining up the aluminum logs on pontoon boats

tip: spray from the bottom up or you'll get white streaks when it runs
