Painted Corrugated Aluminum Sided Travel Trailer

[aarond76]

We recently purchased a 2006 32' travel trailer with the standard painted corrugated aluminum siding. Tried waxing with the Meg's Cleaner Wax at Walmart but this did not remove all the streakiness. The white siding looks reasonable but still not uniform. There are also two different tan bands of siding that have no shine at all and are quite oxidized. Can someone give me a complete process here to clean this up? I want it looking like new again. Products, application methods, pads, machines, where to purchase, etc... I hope not to spend alot of money for machines but again this is a LARGE camper and will do what has to be done to get it back to new condition. Hopefully once this process is completed the first time, waxing once in spring and once in fall will maintain it. Thanks. Aaron

Well, that is about the mildest product possible.

Any chance of any pic? A machine might not work real well in the corrugations anyway.

You may need something like UC followed by #66 the first time, then #66 in the future, but a pic would help.

Maybe use a small 3" pad on a DA since you're working on corrugated aluminum siding, pads can get in there a bit better?
Both UC & M66 are relatively cheap

I will get some pictures tonight and try to get them posted. Based on your statement about what I used being the mildest product out there, I probably don't need anything terribly aggressive on the white. Thanks for your help

there is no easy way to clean these. I charge $30 a foot to do these. I would use 105 on a terry towel and follow it with D156
