Detailing a trailer?

My client from this weekend wants me to detail his trailer. What products would I need? Would normal automotive detailing supplies work? I plan on using collinite 845 as the wax. Here are some pics, sorry it was 8 oclock when i took them last night.

It really depends on if it's single stage or base/clear paint. I'd suggest just washing it well. Test a small spot in a not well seen area with some polish. If the pad turns Black, it's Single Stage. It can be polished but you're going to have to be careful unless you've got a paint depth gauge. You don't know how much paint you'd be working with and could possibly burn through it. I'd top it with NXT, #21, or #845. Dress the tires with Hyperdressing.

That's a lot of aluminum. I did one of the trailers at work this winter. It's bigger than that but has about the same amount of diamond plate and aluminum trim. Diamond plate is a pain in the *** but well worth it in my opinion. I used a Mother's Ball but in all honesty, even though it says it's good on diamond plate, it's really not that great. And it pretty much tears the ball apart.
