#44 via G-100?

[TSR6]

My dad has an enclosed trailer that the sides are just like an RV. Can #44, the marine & RV color restorer be applied via G-100?

If so, I'm assuming I would use the 8006 pads?

Are you sure it is fiber glass and not coated aluminum. You will want to tackle each type of material differently.

Before you start, let me check on this because M44 uses a macroscopic diminishing abrasive. Plus like Joe said, try to find out for sure what the material is or the coating.

Yeah, the sides of the trailer are fiberglass. The only place that isn't is the back door - which is AL. It's actually even all one sheet ( no seams )

It's a custom built trailer that my dad ended up buying from a relative's estate years ago. A couple weeks ago, without my dad's full concent - another person that rents space at my dad's building had one of his "employees" take a rotary to it to remove some painted on lettering from the side, and did a shotty job. Swirled and burnt the piss out of the surface, and didn't even wipe down the residue. From what I could gather, he used a rotary and "RACE GLAZE" or possibly Meg's #9. Those are the only two bottles in the entire shop that he could have used with the rotary.

Needless to say, it's my next project.

didnt know there was a 5 minute edit period... but i wanted to say that the fiberglass is all one sheet down the sides....

the back door is several sheets of AL riveted together, just to fix my last post.

The edit time limit is usually longer but people take advantage of it. Here's how, they ask a question or make a comment, myself or someone else will post a reply, then the person will change their question or comment and make it look like the person who replied was clueless in their reply. Weird I know, but it happens.

I'll bump it back up,

I totally understand that. I'm just used to a longer time frame with most forums.

I have the "editing" problem on the website I help Admin on. We don't have a limit as of right now, but I have always wanted it due to the B/S/T forums becoming a "he/she said" event. Always drama!

I have found documents that state it's safe for machine use or hand application, but I can't find anything that states it can or cannot be used with a dual action polisher specifically.

My guess is that because you're working on gel-coat that Yes, it is safe to use in this manner. M44 is very effective at removing oxidation and restoring gloss and vibrancy to neglected gel-coats.

Follow this with an application of M45 Boat/RV polish and then lock in all your hard work with a coat of wax.

Yes!

I am vindicated!

Thanks for the info Mike! I guess I have another shopping trip in store tomorrow.

PS: Here is the trailer, found it while preparing another "Show Off" post.



Doesn't look bad from nearly 100 yards away. Neither does the truck from 10 yards. Unfortunately, two days after a complete detail job............. pictures to come in the "show off" area. lol.
