I'd like to share ideas with people who love polished airplanes. I
just went through the first phase of achieving a (hopefully) mirror
finish on my -8, N638DM. It created a pretty shine, but I've got some
swirls to work out and a heckofa mess to clean up. Tip #1; wear
long-sleeved shirts and gloves, and do it outside if possible. Tip #
2; if using an oil-based polishing compound, a little flour on an old
t-shirt will absorb the compound and help clean the inevitable spatter
off the adjacent painted surfaces. Any other tips about achieving and
preserving that shine? I'd like to hear from you.

Many of you may know that John Marshall, RV builder extraordinaire with 7
done and 2 under construction, has for years had a corn roast at his grass
strip in Acton, IN on the July 4th weekend. This year however, mainly
because of large attendance, the event is being moved to Martin Fall's Post
Air airport (7L8) located at the SE corner of Indianapolis. So, all you RV
drivers out there are invited to a Corn Roast at High Noon, July 5th, 2003.
Any questions email me at tlloyd6250@comcast.net

In the 21 years of the RVAtor there was a article about protecting bare
aluminium. There is this magic stuff that is used by the mobile home
trailer company which builds all aluminium trailers. Sorry I dont have the
name.

Don & list,
I polished out a GlaStar several months ago using the NewVite system and the
instructional video from the Swift Museum. After that I sealed the polished
surface with a product I sell called Zoops Seal. This put a clear coat over
the polish that is much more resistant to tarnishing. Finger prints that
are left on for over a week are wiped off with a polish rag or washed away.
I used about a quart of material on the GlaStar. With my 8A I am expecting
to use just less than two quarts.

Hello Guy's!
I just moved my RV-4 from the Garage to the Hayward Airport to complete the engine
and avionics and get this baby in the air. Anyone with a lead on an IO-320
or 360 / and any 2-1/4 inch instruments would be appreciated.
