Your never done polishing.

if the barn has a dirt floor you will have a constant battle with the dust - we do! I sometimes wonder if outside would be better...

Clearcoar will begin to deteriorate in 5 years or so. A polished trailer will stay shiny for a few years. Of course the more time passes so does the shine. Some people polish every year, some don't. Some people wax some don't. After the original polish, you don't have to do the whole process over again, just touch up. After the trailer is evenly polished you could also let normal weathering develop a natural patina. That looks good too.

Don't forget to reseal after the polish, let it age, then wax.

Or, reseal the seams, then cleanup and clearcoat.
