So which polisher would be recommended for such a project keeping in mind some work would have to be done from a ladder? Also I would use it for my truck and BMW.

Good one!

Now that's a shiny finish! The challenge with the Airstream is the size of the surface area and all the external details. But I made some good progress over the weekend and will be back at it when the weather clears! I may have to invest in a polishing machine! My shoulder is taking a beating!

Everyone, thanks for the input. I did't realize that letting the Paint Sealant "cure" was beneficial. Perhaps I have been buffing it off too soon (within minutes). I did start the process on the Airstream using the Paint Sealant and I also used some Buttery Wax in different areas. The Paint Sealant has more shine, seeming to "clean" better. The forecast is for rain most of the week here in PA so I will not have the opportunity to get the trailer finished but I should be able to see the results on the areas that I have completed.

Older Airstreams did not have clear coated aluminum and these can be polished to a high shine with metal polish. I'm not sure when they started using clear coated aluminum panels but my 2009 has them. They are clear coated at the factory that makes the panels, Alcoa I think.

Would you use a product like Liquid Paint Sealant? What kind of protection does this provide? The trailer is stored outside. Thanks!

I have an Airstream travel trailer. What would be the recommended cleaning/sealing product to use for the trailer. The aluminum panels have clear coat on them. Thanks! Bob
