What method and polish did you use (i.e. - cyclo, drill, nuvite, heavy metal, etc). Where's the picture from?

Hi,

This trailer had never been cleaned, fortunately there was no clear coat to deal with,

I used products for the first go around from metalwax.com A liquid cleaner that was very caustic went on first. that combined with the oxide to leave a white residue

I then followed up with about six bottles of their metal wax product, it is a cleaner and wax in one.

after that I have used maus(?), and other aluminum cleaners from the auto store, I try to stay with stuff that is aircraft approved,

random buffer to apply polishes, and hand rags to take it off, lots of hours (150), and a little insanity helps. strangely I found the oxidation came off most easily when it was very cold out. after the hose froze up I was carrying buckets of water to wash things off.
