$8000 every 10 years does not sound like a good solution!

That's why our trailer isn't getting done until there is a shed for it. A friend of ours had his 77 model done about 10 years ago but he keeps it in a barn and it still looks fabulous.

Thank you! Of course this won'the be the $olution for everyone but it was for us.
We have a barn to park it in for non-use in the summer. Still looking for a covered spot around Naples, FL.

Here'she the Polish we were given by the Ruth's and the only one they recommend after this procedure.

Looks great! Just watch out for mice in the barn, as they also love Airstreams. 😉

Keep the Airstream coloured trim or not?

I AbSoLuTeLy ♡ the blue trim (water safe) Airstream trim and still like the reddish brown trim (land use only) on the Limited's among others! Don't ditch the trim IMHO... My two cents worth...

They "Got Our Six"

Here's the refurbished back end sans the decal stripe. The roof top front & rear panels were very oxidized before bringing it to P & S for it's spa treatment! Now just a blinding shine.
