Now that’s a new one to me --- I'm guessing it won't shine to a mirror finish.

More importantly, when properly polished, a new segment will match metal on any Airstream, ever built, from the 1930's, to 2010.
The old clearcoat on your coach is what is misleading you.

Have the Vulkem – need the Olympics. Maybe someone at the Shuttle Launch Gathering will be able to lend me a hand with that!!! For now, there’s some really cool duct tape on that area.

Now, I was lead to believe there would be a visible difference in the new vs. old aluminum segments. Oh well – for now I am satisfied. I have 2-gallons of Removall that I’m waiting to apply for the clear-coat issue --- but it has been cold here in sunny FL.

I know that sick feeling

That’s where I had planned to go – read some good stuff ‘bout them. For now, I’m glad not to be making the trip.

Laura.

I had the same learning curve about the quotes.

For each quote you wish to make, you must begin it with quote and end it with /quote. Before each of those quotes you must also add [ and ].

The difference in the metal from one year to another, cannot be seen with the naked eye, when polished correctly.
