Re: [A/S] Avert your eyes - Streamline Question
Hi Peter, I have an Avion Truck Camper too.
The anodized surface is designed to stop the corrosion that makes
aluminum look like grey velvet after a while. Think old metal ice cube
trays. It doesn't take a polish. And it is nearly impossible to get rid
of it. Besides the aluminum underneath proably doesn't have the skim of
pure aluminum that the older AS trailers do that gets polished to road
hazard standards.
It looks like a good bath is the best bet and then have it clearcoated.
If you want shiny get an AS or other non anodized aluminum beast.

This is pretty much headquarters for Avion info.
