Did Barry do it for you? He does a fantastic job.

That's how he got his handle.... "The Polishing Guru".

Wow!

Wow Andy - just awesome!! Hope my Argosy looks like that some day. Do you know what kind of rims those are - they look great!

How much for the window addition in the door? My wife would love one of those. How many days would I have to book with you? I may be coming down the coast this summer. We'd love to visit your shop!

Polishing mystery

3Ms75 Argosy, and others.

May it "NEVER" be said again, or that I heard, or I thought, or it would seem to me, or my neighbor said, or my engineer friend, or an Airstream or Argosy owner said, that you "cannot" polish one to perfection.

The old trailers, the new trailers with dull metal, the Argosy trailers with non appearance type metal, can "ALL" be polished beautifully.

We don't and won't do it, as it is one heck of a job, as well as a very dirty one.

But, Barry Gregory, the polishing "Guru," does it for a living.

Want to know how?

Call Barry.

He has a page on our web site, inlandrv.com

Unfortunately, the end caps must be painted as you cannot polish galvanized metal.

I have no idea where the wheels came from that are on the Argosy trailer that was polished. Maybe Barry has that answer.

Andy
