Hoping to. Got to talk to the keepers of the trailer, they will be returning from the NEU Caravan sometime tomorrow. Hope to be able to pick it up sometime this weekend and then drop it off at your place some evening before the rally.

Maybe we could sleep in it too (If "The Tube" isn't ready).

How did the Glisten work out? Does it seem to be holding up? Are you satisfied with it?

I need to do something about the curved end panels on the top of my 1991 Excella.

Thanks.

We have not clearcoated yet, we ran out of time and money. Hopefully this work will start up again this fall.

GSM did do up a test panel up for us with Glisten, it's VERY clear, does not change the look of the metal in regards to reducing the shine. Also it shows imperfections a bit more than Airstream clearcoat.

Are there any photo's of the final polish? and what process did they use?

Hi Jack,

I've attached a picture of our trailer - this was taken just 2 days after we picked it up from GSM.

I don't have the details on the process they used but it came out pretty darn good. Of course it's been a few months and we need to touch it up as water spots are beginning to show. We (currently) plan to bring it to a deeper, more mirror like shine ourselves and then return it to GSM for clearcoating with Glisten. Just need to save up the cash to have the work finished.
