JL and Jezebels...I have many hard learned lessons that I would be happy to share...first, don't polish in 110 degree heat (the polish and polisher tends to dry out quickly), second, while compounding, don't let your sweat drip down the trailer (you will have to recompound). I used the Nuvite system compounding with C, then F7, then cycloing with F7 then S. Anything in particular you want to know...just ask.

Ditto the others...we just stated our "78" Ambassador, know what you mean about the work! So go enjoy it now! And be ready to take many questions from non-airstream campers when you are out and about. It will act like a big silver magnet!

That was my problem, 99 degrees and I was trying to polish, Cyclo was getting too hot. Gives me a good reason to put it off till fall! 
What pads did you use with the cyclo, Foam pads on the heads then t-shirts or did you buy the special bonnets?
