      Thanks for stopping by! This trailer is pretty new so it’s still fairly shiny. There isn’t a coating that I’m aware of but we do have them polished sometimes if they get bad. Mainly just washing them every time it rains and spraying the salt off pretty much every night or morning to keep the salt from turning it grey. The trucks do get polished at least once a year, sometimes twice when spring rolls around.
