Location: BRONSON ,IA.		I just brought home a used Elite trailer. The white clearcoat finish seems quite dull. Can anyone recommend a good product and method for restoring the original luster?Thanks TLR

Location: BRONSON ,IA.		Thanks for your response Gard. I had already purchased some Mcquires cleaner/wax. I applied a thin coat, let it dry and buffed it out with my electric buffer. It worked great and seems to be a good product.Thanks AgainTLR
