    Default Diamond Plate Cleaning. . .

    Yes another Trailer cleaning thread. . . .

    Anyone have a good idea on cleaning and polishing diamond surfaces on my trailer? ? ? I came across a couple products when searching, but so far they are all mail order products costing $39.00+. If I'm not satisfied, it would be a hassle to return, plus to me its alot to spend on a product that I never heard of . . . .

    Any firefighters out there ? ? ? What are you Katz using on the fire trucks ? ? ?

    I tried that, looking for something a little easier to work with. . . .If you can imagine, this is what I'm up against . . .A 9yr old trailer, that I got 2yrs ago, thats been doing nothing prior but sitting in all the Midwest weather for 6 of those 7 years . . . .


    Come on Firemen where you at I need to know how you Katz keep those fire trucks nice and purty . . .

    go to your local truck stop and get some rouge, go get some mineral spirits and a little bit of good liquid wax or rainx. put that rouge in something I use a small paint can, add some mineral spirit and wait until it turns into a liquid or melt it down when its a paste its perfect then add your liquid wax or rainx. WORKS! everytime. Let me know if you need more help I can give you better details. goodluck
