You will become very frustrated and acheive marginal success using this so called process as described above. To accomplish a profession, long lasting and uniform mirror finish requires wheel buffing rather than rotary style buffing, with high rpm-4500-6000 rpm, using a three stage process that leaves the finish scratchless, swirl-free and sealed. Depending upon the alloys in the aluminum, or year the airstream was manufactured, there are pre-polishing preparations that will make the polishing go much faster and have a better end result. I would be happy to share some tips but you really should consider allowing someone with years of experience help you than the do-it yourself internet surfer.Shawn Monahanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00045155393197233631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017264780822831590.post-8189061542002833012014-09-30T17:11:37.915-07:002014-09-30T17:11:37.915-07:00Did you ever publish info on your polish process??...Did you ever publish info on your polish process??

Once the level of polish you want is achieved, you simply apply oil/wax to the body every 4-5 months. It helps keep water stains and oxidation from building up on the body. On my airstream, with no oil or wax, I’ve noticed after 6 months a haze will build up on the body. But that because I haven’t applied anything yet. I’m still buffing the airstream and it would be pointless to apply a protective layer until I’m done. When I finally reach a level of shine I am happy with (hopefully the end of this year) I will do a quick pass with a light grade polish using the Cyclo buffer and then apply oil to the body.

Trying to buff over clear coat is almost impossible so it must be removed. Steps:<br /><br />1. Pick up the aircraft stripper and some paint brushes. You’ll also need something metal to hold the stripper like a metal bucket or a cookie sheet.<br />2. The paint brushes are only going to be good for a few hours because the stripper will start to eat the brushes (dont use foam brushes). WEAR protective gear- glasses, long sleeves and some serious rubber gloves up to your elbows.<br />3. Start brushing it on (work in sections) You will start to see the stripper bubble up after 10 minutes or so.<br />4. Then simple use a water hose and spray it off. I used a pressure washer which was much easier and more effective.<br />5. You might miss a few spots or see brushstrokes. Simple brush on more stripper, let it set for a few minutes, and then hose off.

You’ll need to look into purchasing a standard buffer and Cyclo buffer at some point. I picked up a Cyclo buffer for $125 on craigslist. Also my advice for the polishing compound is to us Nuvite only! I went with Nuvite F7 (its one of the higher cutting grades). I bought mine from Perfectpolish.com because they don’t charge shipping. This stuff is more expensive but IT’S MORE THEN WORTH IT! You use less product and it does 20x the work of other brands (in my opinion). I did the test myself and started out with cheaper brands only to find out that all the reviews of Nuvite polish are true! I say it cuts 10 hours of work into 2. I’ll compile a list of materials and step that I took. I also need to upload new photos. Also, if you order Nuvite from perfect polish they include a ton of information on polishing.CANNONSIDE.COMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14914323070591174478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017264780822831590.post-54009109843521299842012-02-02T14:41:52.342-07:002012-02-02T14:41:52.342-07:00do you have a tutorial i guess on how to do this?do you have a tutorial i guess on how to do this?nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10074672178639089369noreply@blogger.com
