I spent a beautiful afternoon polishing the door(s). I am fairly new to polishing and could use some pointers. Any suggestions on how best to do the detail? Edges, Crevices and inside corners? I am using Nuvite F9 to start, will go to F7 at the very least with a Makita 7" @ 1800rpm. Here is a link to the trailer: s1061.photobucket.com/user/sbbeeboy/slideshow/1960%20Airstream%20OverlanderBee well and bee happy!

Sounds like your using a standard rotary polisher on the edge? Are you ending up with fine swirl marks after using Nuvite F9, and F7? I'm considering the purchase of the Cyclo dual head polisher for the final finish, and using it for the maintenance.
The Silver Streak that I'm working on has been polished, but needs some detail finishing. It has melted the cover on the wiring box, and is also killing my grass from the sun reflections off the polished surface. Another down side of a shiny trailer.

So wonderfully shiny I can see in the reflection that your beer cooler is already empty. A proper reward for a proper polishing job!
