How much do they charge to do a trailer?

 

[doorfx]

I never had a trailer done. Lots of ads on kijiji for auto detailers. Cheap

powerball on a drill and some good polish.

Probably go back to mothers. I had a powerball years ago. Maybe time for another.

 

[the_real_wild1]

This is the back half. But there is lots of this stuff.

If you can find it, I think places like kenworth sell it it's called wicked metal polish works really good. Or better yet get a hold of Boydo on here and get his F1 polish it really good! Or if you just plan on going to Canadian tire instead of mothers get the stuff with British crests on it it works way better!

I used a product called Flitz. I picked it up at Crackmasters and it comes with a powerball. My sled deck had never been polished and was in rough shape and this worked great.

Last year someone here recommended Trailer Brightener from Greggs Distributing. It's just over $100 a jug so I had a hard time justifying buying a jug. This year I pulled the trigger and glad I did. A little goes a long way so I figure the jug is a lifetime investment. It works amazingly well at removing oxidation and made polishing a breeze.

As for polish, best I have tried came from an autobody supply shop, something called Nexus (or similar).

If your on Facebook check out a guy called Bling Bling metal polishing out of Edmonton the best I have every seen

I was talking to my boss thins morning and he had a good point about the powerball and I think he might be right about it. He said the checker plate will chew up the ball because the edges are sharp.
