Default Myco aluminum trailer
What is the best and easiest way to restore the finish on a aluminum trailer?

I've never done it myself, but what about taking it to a semi-truck wash and having it washed with the acid solution that they use on the wheels of the big rigs?

SOS pad removes the oxidation if used lightly doesn't scratch. Then some aluminum polish.

the acid at the truck wash will clean the trailer but turn it white over time

I didnt want to use acid for that reason and sos pads would take way too much work....what about sandblasting?
