Long time polishing

I can't read Spanish but this bus is apparently owned by a large tour bus company in Sao Paulo which has a nice fleet of modern buses http://www.turismosantarita.com.br/
I think it's mostly an advertising piece and a fine one at that.
Since we have been talking 4104's lately I thought I would bring this old post to the top..WOW! I had no idea the aluminum on the 4104 would polish up like this...
I have in the past owned several vintage travel trailers from the late 1940's that I polished, a 1947 Westcraft, a 1947 Spartan and a 1957 Airstream. It is hard work but the results can be amazing. You have to like the look.

Wow is right. Can you use the word pretty, and Bus, in the same sentence? Thats a pretty Bus.

My 4104 will never look that good but I'm not ready for that commitment.
Polished Al is great if you have a lifetime devotion to polishing it. Once the clad or anodizing is polished off it must be polished continually.
It also leaves the Al exposed to very quick corrosion.
I once read about a guy who polished a Twin Beech like this and used to fly it early every morning it was parked outside to blow off the dew so it wouldn't spot!!

My grandfather must be turning over in his grave as they say. My heritage is Portuguese, though I never learned to speak it beyond five years old and and never read it. It's mostly gone now.
So sorry, Len! No offense intended!
Dont know if I heard wrong, but heard from several sources the clad on the greyhounds was much heavier than the clad used on aircraft. It was meant to be polished.
