Location: Middle Tennessee | Just wanted to see if any of you found any products that worked well on steel trailers to make them shine again. My red trailer is pretty faded, but I really don't have the funds to get it painted right now.

Location: Lockport, Illinois | First use a cleaning (buffing) compound to get the dead red pigment off, then use a wax that has carnuba wax as an ingredient. Zymol is the was I used on boats, it has a lot of oil (it smell like coconut and banana) that immedietly livens up the red paint. It is expensive but goes a long way. |

Location: Virginia | Get yourself some good old fashioned rubbing compound and some really good wax. Find a nice shady spot and use some elbow grease. Good luck |

Location: Malta, Il | The easiest and cheapest way I've found to shine up faded paint is to soak a rag with WD40 and wipe it on then towel it off. It will shine it right up.The only thing is that it will draw dust to it. |

Location: Northern, CA | CLR to clean it, then go to a marine supply store and get the best gel coat buffing compound and wax they've got. It will take a lot of elbow grease, but you should be able to get it back! |

How do you put a shine back on a faded red trailer?
