Any suggestions on cleaning the inside and outside of an all aluminum trailer? We are selling it and want to get it in tip top shape without a lot of physical effort. Can we use a power washer? Any tips appreciated. The exterior is white and the top of it is silver.

Any suggestions as to an easy way to clean the mats? I cannot physically move them myself. Should I just hire a couple of guys to do that for me?

Thanks!

You can use a power washer on areas soiled but be careful, you can dislodge sealer used to make the metal seams dressing room water tight. Set it lower if you have such a setting or be sure to stand back a ways. The mats should be aggressively pressure washed.

There is a process known as acid wash used to clean aluminum transfer trailers that will really pick up the aluminums appearance. Look in your phone book for places which wash trucks. Have the trailer given a safety inspection and keep the information for the new owners.
