Hopefully I will be buying a new trailer in the next 3 weeks. I'm just curious as to what I should use to clean and maintain it. I would like to stick with Megs products for now. As some may know I have a lot of products already. I have HD, APC+, etc. Here is a picture of what it will look like but its not the pic of my actual trailer. I'm more concerned with the Aluminum or sheet metal (I think that's what the trailer is made of). I'm not sure if Megs soap is safe, if #34 is safe, what type of wax I can use if any?

 

Bump

 

You should be able to wash it and wax it like everything else. Aluminum polish on the diamond plate and all the aluminum trim. Not sure about the polishing part. Not sure about what's used to paint it.

 

On the alluminum trim and chrome use Eagle Ones Never Dull....does wonders!! for the rest of it, regular soap & wax will work fine.

 

I will use Megs all metal polish on the diamond plate and aluminum fenders. I was thinking of washing the trailer with my Megs soap and water. On the trailers website is says to stay away from abrasive products. I don't think NXT 2.0 is abrasive (liquid). I figured I would use the NXT 2.0 spray wax so be safe. How long would you guys say that the spray wax lasts vs the liquid?

 

You can use the liquid. It's not abrasive. By abrasive, I would think they mean a polish. Be prepared to clean off the tons of black runs and streaks that will form from when it rains and the water runs down from the aluminum trim. Oh and get a powerball or wool ball of some sort to attach to a drill for the dimaond plate. It's not fun to polish by hand.

 

Is there anyone that you recommend?

 

I have a Powerball and a Powerball Mini. I used the Powerball on the diamond plate on the front of the trailer at work and it tore it apart. At $25 (give or take) it can get expensive to keep replacing them. There are others but I haven't tried them.
Lake Country makes a Wool-Ball in 3" and 5" sizes. I don't know if the cut of wool would have any adverse effects on the final outcome. Like with paint, you may need to start out with a wool pad but you always finish with a foam finishing pad. I don't know if the same applies here.
Obsessive Detail carries the 3" Dura-Ball and I noticed it's on clearance.
I've only used the Powerball though.

 

i know you said you wanted to stick with megs but first see what kind of finish it is.

I think poliseal is what i used last time and that worked great.

845 is also a great lsp for just about anything that needs durability
