Salt from the highway
We use our 75 Overlander all winter for camping at our favorite ski resort. We love it! The problem is the salt from the highway does a number on the mirror finish. We are on our third year of springtime polishing. Tired!! Anyone know of a way to protect the finish?

We use NuFinish after polishing and Cyclo'ing with Nuvite "S". Salt is the bane of Airstream owners everywhere....wash it off as soon as you can, it corrodes the aluminum something horrible.
