The problem where the clearcoat wore away a long time ago left the metal to ozadize, I used red rubbing compound on a awool buffing pad 1/2" thick pad, at 2200 rpm.
It came off in short order

Gotta reward yourself once in a while!
Trailer is looking good - I'm glad mine wasn't 31'. Hang in there, it's worth it.
Dave
On edit - The reward was sitting poolside. :-)

Yes we we're at the Everglade RV park for about a week, and had many on lookers. Most of them took a break from watching TV from under their awning where they had outdoor TV showing Judge Judy. ( if that's what retirement is I'll keep working )
