Wow, that was a lot of flat panel polishing! A lot of good work being put in on that!

Re: Now for something different (Travel Trailer Detail)
You sir - are a better man than me....
I hate polishing "big stuff".
Much prefer cars that came from Detroit without exterior plastic trim.
Also you picture just goes to show, even though there are dozens of tools on the market now days, the Porter Cable is still a tried and true capable tool.
Thank you for sharing....

Re: Now for something different (Travel Trailer Detail)
Here's just one example of not having fun doing big stuff....
Don't use a rotary buffer to buff out a Motorhome or RV - HOLOGRAM CITY
You're on the right track using a free spinning random orbital polisher with my guess is a one-step cleaner/wax or AIO.
I could make a list of all the big stuff I've been volunteered to buff out since coming to AG in 2009. A few projects were my idea, but not all of them.

I agree. My uncle has a beautiful 72 Monte Carlo I've been trying to talk him into doing.
As for the PC, it does what I need it to do and I'm happy with it. I'd love an upgrade, and to switch the PC to smaller pads, but I only do 4-5 cars a year. I guess I'll add a travel trailer to the mix. I only did it because I was quite shocked by how much of a toll the sun took on the plastic trim in one year. Even though it's a smaller camper I see it like any of my vehicles and want to keep them it in tip-top shape.
To be honest, the flat panels were pretty easy and a nice departure from the cars and trucks I usually do.

Also, I appreciate the kind words from the guy running the show, and the guy that makes me jealous of his work on a regular basis.

Re: Now for something different (Travel Trailer Detail)
Wow, that came out looking really nice. Great job. I'm about to start on my new motorhome. I'm thankful I have a garage to do it in.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I've done a few cars, but never an RV before.

In many ways, I found it easier than cars. Yeah, it's a lot of square footage but it's flat and you can work pretty big sections so it went quick. I broke it into two days because it gave me something to do while watching the kids rode their bikes and got some fresh air. It could have easily been done in a day.
