Hi Goyo,

I have the MSDS on it. The only hazardous component is Mineral Spirits. There is no mention of acid anywhere, but the PH is listed as 6.8-7.8 - I don't remember enough abuot my high-school checmistry class to recall what the acid range was. Most of the data sheet is concerned with it's flammability.

I still have plenty for sale if anyone needs some...

For those of you not in a hurry with your polishing project watch Ebay for 3M buffing pads. I was able to assemble a complete set of 5 pads over a month for way less than the cheapest suppliers on the net.
Just do a search for 'buffing pads".
Got that trailer done yet Steph??

Just so you know..
PH is measured on a scale of 0 to 14. A pH of 7 is neutral, a pH level above 7 indicates alkalinity, and pH levels of less than 7 indicate acidity.

From that quote it looks like I didn't pass spelling class either

I wasn't sure but I thought 7 was neutral. Thanks for the heads up.

No, no polishing here yet, but I'm considering taking advantage of these cool cloudy days to get started. At least I won't have to worry about the skin being too hot, and we do occasionally have days without rain. At the very least I want to repolish the ends to remove the sticky gunk from the old numbers and get my new numbers put on before next season.

A couple weeks ago Silver Eagle mentioned that he would be interesed in selling to forum members. I would definitely be interested in utilizing this product to clean up my 31' trailer. Does the offer still stand? Did someone state that it took 3 bottles to completely finish a 31' trailer? Mine is another one with the clearcoat flaking off. Maybe it will require additonal ss to cut thru the clear coat.

Yes, I just got the order of SS in and if you would like to purchase some I will be happy to get some to you. I bought two cases of 32 ounce containers and have received one case so far.
Let me know how much you want. I will be charging my cost plus shipping/handling.
Just shoot me an email off the list with your address.
Best,
JB

Where do you order the Southern Shine from. I have just recently purchased an 86 in bad need of shine. Please respond.

Silver Eagle, please check your private messages. Boltos has sent you a message asking how to order a few bottles, but has not received a reply from you. Thanks.

You know I know very little about polishing, but I saw some photos recently of a person that has been using it on a 70s Airstream with great results.

Here is some SS at work. I have about 26 hours in it so far. I am getting there.

JPAIRSTREAM · 12-16-2003, 03:00 PM

maybe one more

Safari Tim · 12-16-2003, 05:03 PM

What technique(s) are you using to apply the SS?

You don't know how lucky you are to be able to do this inside!

Keep it up!

JPAIRSTREAM · 12-17-2003, 08:48 AM

I am just using 3-m bufing pads. with a makita buffer set on low which is about 1200 RPM.

I have used some wet sanding technics along with a product called met-all to clean surface. I am also using thinner to clean surface after each go over.

montanaandy · 12-17-2003, 03:11 PM

Really looks nice so far. How many bottles will you need to finish the entire trailer (I also have a 31' that I want to polish). Thanks,

Montanaandy

JPAIRSTREAM · 12-17-2003, 05:51 PM

Wish I could tell you how many more 32 oz on its way I have used 16 oz so far. I ordered it from the maker and it is SLOW to get delivered its been 9 days since he said it was goign to be mailed..... and 16 days since order was placed.

Hello,

After a long time of procratinating on polishing the FC, I decided it was time. I had done a test spot with the Southern Shine earlier as seen in the before picture. Spent about 14 hours over 5 days in the early morning as is getting too hot after 9AM here in sunny San Joaquin Valley of California. I used only Southern Shine which I bought from Stephanie. Did a little wet sanding with 1000 grit in the really bad places. I still have more to do especially on window frames and top of trailer and on front and curb side. But seems to be a fairly good start. 14 hours didn't include about 2 to 3 hours of washing with Dawn detergent and blue and sometimes green 3M scratch pad. I have only about a 1/4 bottle left of SS so ordered a sampler pack of Nuvite which I think includes F7, C and S to see how that works. Hopefully, the 2 after pictures and the 1 before picture show up. Will post more later.
