polishing

I have found an easier way to polish the exterior. First I use "Aircraft stripper" applied with a brush. leave it on for about 1 minute, then wipe it off it will remove any clear coat. Then with a buffer I use "blue Magic" aluminum polish. I apply this with a buffer until it turns black. Then wipe it off with a soft cloth and finish with a polishing pad on the buffer. The shine is beautiful. and the aluminum polish give it a protective coat.
