Thank you so much for sharing!! You're the best with practical renovation / restoration tips!!! Please keep doing what you do best!

[@grahamatsea3575]

Thanks for sharing the techniques you're using.
I loved the time lapse towards the end, really helps understand what you doing and the techniques.
That trailer is starting to look good 👍

[@markmahan6768]

It always amazes me to see how beautiful the Airstreams you polish look! You've definitely mastered the technique. Is there a product you use to seal the aluminum once polished to help keep it looking great? Do you think Rainex is a good or bad idea? Keep the videos coming please!

[@rafterL78]

Informative and to the point. Thanks

[@stankrieger3137]

looking good, I am starting my polishing on the 1963 AS this week, have done small spots around a lot of the tight spots and working my way out,

[@randallpackard3065]

Was needing info on what you need for polishing compound . Looked for your link .

[@ChasingtheWildWonder]

Hey, Ian! Thanks for all Videos! They’ve helped a lot in preparing for our airstream Reno. Keep it up! What happened to the Eastwood SCT?

[@fliptherx3865]

I cant believe you don't have more than 10k subs@ my favorite channel since i bought my money pit last week 😅😊

[@patrickcallahan2210]

Great info on the Milwaukee!!! Have you looked into the BuffPro polisher at all?

[@deanstanden6636]

Great polishing technique Ian you've definitely mastered that! I can't wait to see the finished product! Do you have afilliate links to the UK amazon I'm going to buy some of that polishing stuff and it would be great to help you out with some commission

[@corrypt]

What kind of wax do you use? Is a mask necessary?

[@anthonyagostinello5745]

What year is this ? I know year 1998 or lower year is thin aluminum and 1999 up is thicker

[@jeffcorporon8]

I would like to get a bid on polishing my 31' Sovereign located in Denver, Colorado.

[@miratodorova7009]

Can you use the same process of polishing for Avion 1981?

[@nomansland4811]

Aren’t new Airstreams clear coated?

[@Mary-fq6sm]

Thanks for the video. Question regarding your links, you are using the Milwaukee grinder & orange wheel but your links are for DeWalt polisher & yellow wheel. Why the change?

[@matthewnorman4724]

Both will work Milwaukee is just better bc spins faster

[@matthewnorman4724]

I like ya respirator 👍🏽

[@operationhotshotinc.6887]

Do you wash it forat if it been sitting for years? If so whats the best way to wash the airstream off and get it ready for polishing .?

[@mitchzeeb5253]

What grit are you using with the Sct drum? I have a 1968 and a 240 grit is not giving it that mirror like shine on initial cut???

[@richardwillis4880]

Hey buddy I'm renovating an 83 right now. Are your links still good above? I need that polishing kit. Thanks for all the videos! They are very helpful!

[@detaileast]

How do we Price these jobs?? I go to look at my 1st stream to give an estimate on. 1967 27ft. Epic video dude. Thanks for sharing !! New sub here. Cheers

[@zenithdelima6292]

Does the polish look go away again?

[@militia814]

It will always oxide and turn “dull”. You’ll need to polish the trailer around once a year if not treated. After this “heavy lifting” polish process, the trailer becomes easier to polish and won’t require as much effort. There are products out there to coat the polished aluminum to help slow the oxidation process. However, yes, you will need to keep polishing it from time to time.

[@dankelley5587]

Hi what would you charge to do a 31 ft airstreams?

[@MillerGarage]

Hey, it is $175 per linear foot. You can email me at [e-mail] for more info, thanks!

[@dympnadoherty5819]

I’m not seeing the link for equipment. Can u please tell me what pad u use on grinder and what is the polish your putting on as you go. Thank you

[@MillerGarage]

[@managutaos]

How much should it cost to repolisjh a 20 ‘

[@camchristensen1603]

What happened to the Eastwood SCT?

[@kevinzirpel1212]

How do you know when to stop polishing. And can you burn it like when buffing regular paint

[@matthewnorman4724]

Once u sand it correctly and cut it
It will shine like new if u sat there u can burn it but it’s unlikely and can be fixed as where paint has to be repainted this just needs to be Re sanded

[@matthewnorman4724]

Hey boss I have a job for a customer to do air stream polished out I mostly do big rigs
So what ya charge to do one 3500 ?

[@lesterthomas3234]

you kinda left out the removal of the clear coat???

[@stilltuckered]

No posts for awhile. . . Are you still restoring airstreams?

[@MrWaveCarver]

Hi Ian, do you like this method better than the Eastwood Contour tool that you've used in other videos? Do you use both?

[@isaelramos571]

That has to be at least a 5k job? Came out show ready 👌🏼

[@MillerGarage]

thanks!

[@michaellewis4632]

CLR is pretty fast

[@bigfatpear]
