It always amazes me to see how beautiful the Airstreams you polish look! You've definitely mastered the technique. Is there a product you use to seal the aluminum once polished to help keep it looking great? Do you think Rainex is a good or bad idea? Keep the videos coming please!
Thanks for sharing the techniques you're using. I loved the time lapse towards the end, really helps understand what you doing and the techniques. That trailer is starting to look good 👍
Thanks for the video. Question regarding your links, you are using the Milwaukee grinder & orange wheel but your links are for DeWalt polisher & yellow wheel. Why the change?
Great polishing technique Ian you've definitely mastered that! I can't wait to see the finished product! Do you have afilliate links to the UK amazon I'm going to buy some of that polishing stuff and it would be great to help you out with some commission
It will always oxide and turn “dull”. You’ll need to polish the trailer around once a year if not treated. After this “heavy lifting” polish process, the trailer becomes easier to polish and won’t require as much effort. There are products out there to coat the polished aluminum to help slow the oxidation process. However, yes, you will need to keep polishing it from time to time.
Hey buddy I'm renovating an 83 right now. Are your links still good above? I need that polishing kit. Thanks for all the videos! They are very helpful!
How do we Price these jobs?? I go to look at my 1st stream to give an estimate on. 1967 27ft. Epic video dude. Thanks for sharing !! New sub here. Cheers
Once u sand it correctly and cut it It will shine like new if u sat there u can burn it but it’s unlikely and can be fixed as where paint has to be repainted this just needs to be Re sanded

looking good, I am starting my polishing on the 1963 AS this week, have done small spots around a lot of the tight spots and working my way out,
Was needing info on what you need for polishing compound . Looked for your link .
I cant believe you don't have more than 10k subs@ my favorite channel since i bought my money pit last week 😅😊
Hey, Ian! Thanks for all Videos! They’ve helped a lot in preparing for our airstream Reno. Keep it up! What happened to the Eastwood SCT?
What do you use to reseal the trailer so oxidation doesn’t occur?
Informative and to the point. Thanks
Can you use the same process of polishing for Avion 1981?
What grit are you using with the Sct drum? I have a 1968 and a 240 grit is not giving it that mirror like shine on initial cut???
What year is this ? I know year 1998 or lower year is thin aluminum and 1999 up is thicker
Aren’t new Airstreams clear coated?
What kind of wax do you use? Is a mask necessary?
Great info on the Milwaukee!!! Have you looked into the BuffPro polisher at all?
Do you wash it forat if it been sitting for years? If so whats the best way to wash the airstream off and get it ready for polishing .?
Thanks for the video. Question regarding your links, you are using the Milwaukee grinder & orange wheel but your links are for DeWalt polisher & yellow wheel. Why the change?
Both will work Milwaukee is just better bc spins faster
No posts for awhile. . . Are you still restoring airstreams?

Does the polish look go away again?

What happened to the Eastwood SCT?
you kinda left out the removal of the clear coat???
How do you know when to stop polishing. And can you burn it like when buffing regular paint
Once u sand it correctly and cut it
It will shine like new if u sat there u can burn it but it’s unlikely and can be fixed as where paint has to be repainted this just needs to be Re sanded
Hi Ian, do you like this method better than the Eastwood Contour tool that you've used in other videos? Do you use both?
I like ya respirator 👍🏽
That has to be at least a 5k job? Came out show ready 👌🏼
thanks!
CLR is pretty fast
