All,
It's been kinda quiet so that must mean soaring season is on it's threshold
and every one is waiting with bated breath for it to actually start.
While waiting you really must consider if you have done ALL of the
maintenance items you need to attend to, so I propose two questions:
1. Have you waxed your trailer?(this assumes of course that you have already
packed the wheel bearings and balanced the tires).
2. What's the best wax to use? (Weather Block, ETc, Etc,....)
Cheers!

Best wax for glassfibre trailers is a good boat (yacht) wax, for
painted metal trailers a liquid car wax. I recommend 1z products,
available at all Cobra dealers.
Please make sure that you work in the shade and not in the sun. The
unpolished wax will react on UV rays,causing yellow or light brown
spots.Use wax only in very thin layers. Put only so much wax on the
trailer that you can easily polish it out in a short time. When the
wax is not very well polished out it will react to light, too.
Heavy dirt has to be removed with an abbrasive polish before waxing.
For both,cleaning and polishing a slow running polish machine, best
with a rubber foam disc is helpful- you can cut the used part of the
foam disc with a metal saw-blade while running easily (works like a
turning machine) . This will give you a new surface of the disc.
Have fun - a glider trailer has a large surface....
