I started waxing my 2002 Silver Star today. WHAT A JOB! Does anyone know a simple way to get this done? Small sections at a time... very difficult on a 30' gooseneck horse trailer.
Was hoping the electric buffer would help... It is OK with applying wax, but it doesn't really help much with removing (did my sections too large and the wax was already dry!!!)

Real easy if you teach martial arts...
Wax on...Wax off...
Actually I use your small sections for the first time...then use a spray wax system for several months until I think its time to do small sections again...

This is how I wax my aluminum featherlites.
1. carnauba turtle wax liquid
2. 20.00 wal mart buffer (they don't create heat low rpm)
3. extra bonnets for buffer
4. wet bonnet and put wax on then put buffer on trailer then turn on wax the area you want and go to next. Now I ususally do the total trailer then rest 30 min and start with new dry bonnet and start waxing off and it works great for me in mid July. My trailers always look brand new even in five years.
