LI, I was curious how Metalwax did for you? Did you try it or do your whole unit?
After reading this entire thread, I am ready to give AlanSD's method a shot with the removall, purple stuff and then the liquid glass. Metalwax program as good? Better? or.....
I have a '90 Excella 32' so I just want it cleaned up a bit... not shinny. I can't physically do it myself and at a $150 up per foot.... out of my league.
Thanks and would like to see a pic of your unit.

I am always looking for and trying different stuff. I am happy with my Sovereign being quite shiny but not mirrored. As for the purple product, it did a great job cutting thr the very dull chalky gray, where other prducts like Blue magic and Mothers did not touch it. I also like the tool box polish from Lowe's. The product used was used by hand and ocasionally a Harbor Freight polisher.
The Liquid Glass has held the shine since June, its now 6 months or more, and still looking good, but will need a touch up for sure in March or April before our rally and travel season.
I never did paint my roof center white, that will probably be the next thing I do after I get the old TV antenna off, and the weather warms up some.

do u still have to polish after using the napier removall 220
Depends on how shiny you want it....mine looked great to my eye when the Removall was done. Some minor clean up and a bit of polish on the really chalky areas that had no clear coat to begin with.

Starting to remove my clearcoat tomorrow. I picked up some Nuvite S and F7 today. Meant to get C as I think given the condition of my clearcoat and almost no oxidization, C will be sufficient. Does this sound right? Should I go with F7 or C given the condition of my skin?
OK, I have read all the reviews.............my question is this.....after you strip your airstream.............what does it look like then...with no polishing...also if you strip it......then it requires you to get going on the polishing right away if it sits out in the sun....or is there no rush....31 foot long will take me awhile...one side of my unit is peeling to some degree, but rest is good, but still think I will follow you guys!
When you take off the clear coat where the surface is in good condition it will look great, but it is sooo easy to get it to look great with a quick polish.

If you are available to attend one of our informal Ohio rallys this season, I'd be more than happy to give you the crash course. Oh, and I like Coors Light while polishing --dave
