x2! Lots of elbow grease! I've let some of my aluminum/chrome go as it's impossible to clean it after every trip. I make sure to wash the whole trailer a couple times a winter cuz of the aluminum rims and then a heavy coat of polish on everything in the spring before storage. The road grime and salt just beat the heck out of things things. What are you going to do?

Good Luck!

Polishing wheel on a 7,000 rpm grinder, with the brown cutting agent. Followed up with the white polishing wheel & white or green polishing agent. Then when all is looking good 2 coats of sharkhide. I have lots of alum diamond tread on trailers, dumptrucks, pickup boxes, & alum wheels, the trick is in the sharkhide. It's what truckers & boaters (saltwater marine) use to keep em shiny. Oh yeah get a visor for your face, & some old coveralls... you will be black head to toe. Napa sells an alum cleaner that will eliminate some of the cutting process. Spray on & wash off, start from the bottom & work up, as to not leave streaks in alum, keep it all "wet"

Just take mine to car wash bays and spray it down. I don't polish the fenders but If you have the time go for it.
