Shares Tips and Tricks for Shine Success
Tip #1
Rub toothpaste on the vehicle (e.g. airplane, airstream) to see if aluminum turns gray. If it does, there is no plasticoat.
Tip #2
Wash the vehicle and mask the tail and marker lights, if there is plasticoat, and apply the plasticoat stripper to the aluminum using 4″ brushes.
Tip #3
Use NUSHINE IIF7 to polish using the shoulder zone. Plant feet firmly on the ground using the buffer at a 30 degree angle.
Tip #4
Polish with NUSHINE IIC with less angle and pressure to remove remaining surface residue.
Tip #5
Spread NUSHINE IIS using a microfiber cloth and then with a dual-head polisher for the FINAL FINISH.
Always remember:
- Scaffolding is very important, ladders won’t do it.
- Take breaks often, stay hydrated.
- Work on a flat, solid surface, if possible.
- Shade is a must!
- Be patient, it’s a long process, (but WORTH IT!)
- Headphones and a good music playlist!
