    Airstream Polishing Kit
    Polish Airstream Trailers With A Drill or Grinder
    Every Airstream Camper owner dreams of their trailer shining like it was when it left the showroom floor. With our Airstream Polishing Kit, dreams become possible.
    The all aluminum exterior of Airstream Trailers dulls quickly and requires frequent polishing to stay shiny. Doing this by hand can take weeks. By using power tools and buffing wheels and compound, you can reduce that time down to hours, usually less than 30 if the trailer is in decent shape.
    The kit includes an arbor adapter, to mount the buffing wheels in a chuck tool, like an electric corded drill (cordless lack the required power), and a Grinder/Buffer adapter to mount the larger wheels in an angle grinder.
    The kit includes:
    2 x 8" diameter Loose Cotton Buffing Wheels
    2 x 4" diameter Loose Cotton Buffing Wheels
    2 x 4" diameter Spiral Sewn Cotton Wheels
    1 Jumbo Black Buffing Compound (step 1)
    1 Jumbo Brown Buffing Compound (step 2)
    1 Jumbo White Buffing Compound (step 3)
    1 Arbor Adapter
    1 Grinder/Buffer Adapter
    1 Wheel Cleaning Rake
    4 x Microfiber Cloths
    1 Bottle Glare Professional Polish
    Additional Items Required:
    Electric Drill (corded) or Angle Grinder
    Paint Stripper (if clearcoat present)
    Pressure Washer
    Wax or Aluminum Sealer
    Step 1
    Start by removing any clearcoat from the aluminum. Paint Stripper can be obtained at any hardware store. Follow directions and cautions on the can.
    Step 2
    Pressure wash the exterior to remove any dirt or debris remaining
    Step 3
    Evaluate the condition of the aluminum. Heavily oxidized or scratched finishes should be buffed with Black Compound first, with the Spiral Wheel. If the condition is decent, the Black can be skipped. Move to the brown, then white compounds. This step should be performed out of direct sunlight over the course of a few days. Read the complete instructions provided with the kit, and practice on some scrap metal first.
    Step 4
    Use the Microfiber cloths and Glare to remove any light swirls or scuffs.
    Step 5
    Optionally, you should seal the aluminum after buffing to prevent rapid oxidization and dulling of the metal. We recommend Collinite Wax as a short term solution, or Sharkhide protectant as a long term solution.
