  • i sand and polish gas trailers.

  • Gas trailers? Like fuel trucks? That sounds like some work. Any money that?

  • yeah fuel trucks. alot of work but pays good.

  • Sweet. I think the biggest think I ever polished was an airstreem trailer. It took about an entire work week but I was like a mirror when we were done. Then they let it sit outside and it got all fucked up again.

  • The wheels are about 2 years old. I polish them every few months so they don't get so bad. There are few sets of wheel I have had to wet sand from 400-1500 grit then polish. It takes a long time. Yes there is big difference between polishing a well kept set of wheels and restoring a beat up set. If you ge them new and take good care of them they will last. Those wheels look brand new but have a few hundred thousand miles on them because I take really good care of them.

  • good onya bloke good vid

  • Novice, polishing this way is like back in the stoned ages... High Speed Buffers with custom cooked aluminum polish, auto rotated. Leave this work to real pro's, but there are not many of us who will show you our trade-craft...there's a reason for it. I have polished Aluminum for 20 years, trucks, Rv's, trailers, boats, u name it I do it, this guy does not know what he's doing.

  • @Fastambermedia I have an aluminum polishing business and someone wants me to polish their AirStream trailer. Was the one you did clearcoated? what did you use to remove the clearcoat, just sanded it? or is there a more time efficient way of doing it

  • @Fastambermedia hey i'm lookin at your chassis on that truck is it welded?

  • Go check ROLLNBUFF polishing machine

  • @Fastambermedia

    Sorry if you have been asked this before but do you seal the wheels afte you have polished them with a spray laquer>? or do you just use a wax sealant etc? I polished my alloys on my car but after winter they start to show signs of corrosion and now I thin I will have to strip the laquer off and polish all over again.. Any advice would be great. !¬
