Sharkhide Polish
I did searches in many ways, and did not find anyone speaking about SHARKHIDE ALUMINUM POLISH
The website says "is a very high grade, single step polish that will leave a swirl
free mirror finish when used on aluminum. It can also be used on copper, brass, stainless, steel,
fiberglass, as well as removing scratches from plexiglass, and lexan windshields. It's also
recommended for removing blueing from chrome and stainless exhaust."
Has anyone tried this? I realize clearcoat will still have to be removed, could this give a nicer look to the AS that I am too lazy to C7,S,C9 and all those other polish names- not to mention the different cyclo and buffers etc that would have to be purchased?
Maybe I will try a small patch.

I have been pretty happy with mine, but I have noticed more and more of the paint and clearcoat coming up off the trailer. I am wondering now what I am going to do.

I figured the trailer would have been totally stripped before paint.

Well people are doing it. I saw a guy he was a retired pharmacist, first one I saw painted silver. He said it got rid of all his maintenance
