Did you ever get your trailer polished? I remember a couple of years ago you were starting to work on it..... I would really enjoy seeing the pictures of how it turned out.

$4 a bottle! - That's the information you need to share - Where, Where Where? I paid $14 a bottle at Lowes.

Is there a poor man's alternative?

Automated Polishing...
I don't think anyone has tried my suggestion from a few years ago. 
Rub your favorite polishing compound all over your trailer. Next hitch it up and tow it through your favorite automated carwash.
Should come out shiny and clean!

You're welcome to use anything I used once I am done. Which should be soon.

Unfortunately I'm old enough to remember that quote 
That method would give me  but is definitely not time saving

White Diamonds is made by a guy in Indiana named Kevin, who sells it at the Bike rallies- like Daytona, and Sturgis. Catch him on the last day and buy a case. Its about the same as powdering and mixing your own, but its more watery than I like. He sells it under the White Diamonds name- other names at truckstops and Lowes include Diamond Brite. Call and ask.

uwe -
You can use 3/8" hose and fittings, if you need to reduce it down, its ok and doesn't cost much for that one fitting. I bought everything I needed for less than $15 from a hydraulic hose and fitting wholesaler that I have done other business with.
Whatever else you think I may be wrong or misled you about, I'm more than willing to clarify to help you. Its truly the only way to go and you'll laugh when you see how smooth and easy it is. Good luck.

I happen to sign with JB also. You were here first and if'n it offends or bothers you, I will find another signature. I don't want to step on toes.
