Re: How would you polish this trailer?
Craig...
Before anything...Did you wash the top?
That will help to get your thoughts at right direction.
I would prolly test with Megs #7. It's an oily thing which just might soften the crap enough to wipe off. Won't hurt to see what it does.

Re: How would you polish this trailer?
Done this on a trailer couple years back.
Cut up bunch of scrap carpet.
Used Collinite metal cleaner/wax with scrap carpet.
Made the alumium shine as if you ran a rotary buffer with rouge!
Also maybe try comet...

What’s on the roof of trailer? It looks like mildew.
My goal in life is to love God, family and myself. To love others and treat others right.

I’m having difficulty finding information on which pads, polish and sealants would be proper for oxidized aluminum exteriors. I’ve done two panels so far with a G9 DA, 3” LC white polishing pad and some old metal polish that was in storage. It seems to be working.
For exposed aluminum that is oxidized, I'd take a look at this product duo from Marine31 ...
Marine 31 Pontoon Detailing Kit
3M makes a similar line of product as well.

To answer the question in your thread title........... I wouldn't.

How would you polish this trailer?
^
Sound advice, Paul!
For the sake of knowledge and experience, I am taking on challenging projects. So in the future when someone asks me, “Can you...?”
Yes, I can.
Got my first ceramic coating detail next weekend. If I hadn’t done it on my own car this summer, I’d be way nervous doing it on someone else’s.
57Rambler, thank so much!

I totally get it, man.
I was just talking about me, personally. Lol

It may be mold. These trailers tend to sit around for months and owners don’t seem to ever wash them. I haven’t cleaned the top yet. I’ll have to start that just after sunrise, as I don’t want that sun reflection torching my face (Ask me how I know).
Tom, thanks for the tips.
I am grateful, at least, that there’s no time pressure for neighborhood jobs.

I like the Comet suggestion or Purple Power degreaser as a wash.
