Quick fix??

Hey, my family was recently gifted a 1997 34ft classic, the exterior needs some work but I’m wondering if anyone knows a quicker way to fix the skin because I don’t know how the time right now to repolish the entire exterior. Any advice on a quick fix?

Acid wash like you can do pontoon boat pontoons? Never tried it but if the trailer has no clear coat on it, it would leave a clean matte finish.

I would.....

..... in order- leaks, safety/mechanical, interior, exterior functional and then worry about the clear coat. Done right the entire trailer would need to be stripped. Left to it's own devices the bare skin would 'patina', oxidize, aluminum's way of protecting itself.

Left alone and kept clean it doesn't look all that bad.
