Finally got around to detailing this horse trailer. Thanks to the forum members and Mike P for the 'how to'.
Went with HD Speed on a LC Hybrid white polishing pad on the Flex 3401. Used Mother's Mag and Aluminum Polish for the aluminum trim and side panels above the tires. Finally put those white polishing pads that come with the PC 7424 XP to good use.

50/50 - machine polished on the right - dull, hazy, film on the left.

The owner was so excited with how the trailer turned out that she left her tow vehicle with me too - an F350 - to do an exterior wash/spray wax and an interior detail.
