Washing vs Polishing
Is there a product I can use to wash my '72 Tradewind to make it look better? Spending thousands to polish my Airstream to a mirror finish is not an option. Thank you for any input.

My parents had a 1968 that we used Aluminum Jelly on. It took a lot...I don't know if it is still available

I just used warm water, a sponge and biodegradable soap to wash and then dry with clean, soft rags.
