I picked up a nice Aluma MC210 trailer last week for a great price. My buddy bought it new, and really didn't use it much. The sticker on the plate was expired in 2014, and the trailer is a 2011 to give you some idea. Anyway, of course it sat outside its whole life and it was under some trees and such. Here is what it looked like when I got it.
At his place
Before I cleaned it at all
And here is is after pressure washing it
As you can see, 95% of it really cleaned up great! The D-rings are all stainless so they are all in great shape. However, you can see in that last pic that the front right deck area is stained from having vegetation sitting on it for years. You can see it here since I was an asshole (really just in a big rush) and never brushed it off before grabbing my mower.
So what can I use to clean that up? I tried simple green, but didn't brush it in at all. Before I do that I figured I would ask you guys whats good on aluminum. Also do you guy suggest anything to get it even better looking and to protect it some?
Thanks,
Sean
