Is it finally shiny enough???

Here I am taking a well deserved break about 1/2 way through cycloing with "S" this evening. I estimated about 60 hours on polishing this year, but will likely end up a little more than that, closer to 70-75 hours. This years polishing job came out much better than last year though. Think I'm getting the hang of it! Well, off to the shower....--dave

About the only way it could look any better to me is if there was a pretty girl taking the photo! Stiil looks great!

Shinny enough.

I was at my brother-in-laws house in Connecticut with the AS this weekend and his Mastiff dog Buster saw himself in the side panel of my AS and wouldn't stop barking. I'm convinced that that panel, at least, is shinny enough if he was fooled. Maybe we can arrange to have Buster check yours out. Your really looks great to me. Charlie E.

Charlie...I had the pleasure of seeing your trailer in person at the recent NEU maintenance rally. You have done a wonderful job polishing it -- it looks just like a mirror!
