What did you use to clean the outside of the trailer?

There in it self was a challenge. We started with water and Comet and then progess to a little less agressive approach with the use of Simple Green. that stuff there made short order of the clean up process. A Blow Dryer & some 3M adhesive remover was the key to removing the Graphics and the glue from where the graphics were.
looks good but thats two different trailers unless you did a lot of changing. and whatever you were cleaning that with is a good cleaner dont hold out tell us what it is.

I figured you'd spot the difference. however it is the pallet being used . The finished trailer pics are pictures of my buddies trailer in Georgia. He bought it in Durhamtown the last time we were up there. The Simple Green is what is being used to clean all the panels
what kind of flooring are you putting in it?
looks great anyway. I will let you know when i will be near blanding to get them tires to you

2 options we are considering The Epoxy Coating from Rustoleum with the nonskid pads in a checkered pattern. I used it on my Garage Floor and or the pads from Home Depot that are simulated diamond plate foam.

Yes that is inthe plans to happen in due time
Here is the latest mods. The first picture as you may recall the metal on the door was in pretty rough shape. after pondering and procrastenation I decided to replace the two sheets of metal. 3 hours later & several broken screws, the panels let go and reconstruction began. Here are the pics (http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y162/Chuck_Norris/TOYHAULER/DSCF1234_editedSmall.jpg)
once the metal was removed it revealed water that was leaking inside the door, Found some Rotten Wood and a few ants that I had to evict.. A few cans of Rustoleum and a few new pieces of Wood are in order (http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y162/Chuck_Norris/TOYHAULER/DSCF1417_editedMedium.jpg)
