Re: [A/S] Polishing a vintage 1965




When I first polished my Bubble with Rolite I used  a sealer that 
Rolite had that was recommended for auto finishes.  They didn't 
recommend it for alumminum nor did they say it would do any harm.   The 
trailer spotted after the first rain shower although spots wiped of 
with shammi.  Second time
it rained it spotted again.  In the mean time was was washing the 
trailer using a little Dove dish soap in water.   I stopped using dove 
and began washing with clear water.  Now get very little spotting after 
a rain shower and can  wipe down trailer with a towel and  spots wipe 
off.  After washing with clear water I can get some spotting if I leave 
trailer sitting in sun so I do a fast wipe down with a soft towel  I 
find washing in clear water better then using any detergent which tends 
to also streak as well as seeming to encourage spotting after a rain.
