Also as a reminder it is against the law to have a trailer on the street unless it is hooked to a tow vehicle. So if you are spending more than a day there and don't have off street parking you may need another vehicle for errands. Ed

You can try 3M trim and emblem adhesive or 3M 3200 (I think) but the later is orange in color and very stringy.

I polish with Starbrite then wax with Trewax. Comes up great. I know it is non-skid but I rarely step on it, only to lower the VHF or store the rods for an offshore trip.

If it is't too much trouble can someone post up a pic? I would love to see them, especially the LEDs lit up!!

Get some valve grinding compound and put it on the screw driver bit. It will give much better gripping power. DO NOT use a cordless drill. It still sparks, it is a battery operated motor. Use a long handled screwdriver. If you must drill use air tools only. Be careful with a shop vac as well. It...

I only run Interstate batteries but I hear the AGM batteries are good too. All three of mine are 1000s (two starting, 1 deep cycle)

Meguires gel wash. DO NOT use Dawn. Like others ave said it will stripe the wax...quickly.
