I live in a small coastal community called Open Sores, Washington. My wife hates it when I call it that--it's actually Ocean Shores. The salt air gets to everything. I've had to really sand and repaint the jacks and frames of my previous trailers. Well, none of them have had any aluminum parts like the fenders of our 175. Does anyone know of anything I have to/can do to keep them looking nice?

I have found that Mother's Mag & Aluminum Polish works the best.  Ken

Thanks, Ken and PP. I'm going to Wally World today, so I'll pick up some Mothers. I'm hoping the wheels come clear coated like most factory auto aluminum wheels. Many aftermarket aluminum wheels don't come with clearcoat and can look pretty nasty around here in short order. I'm gonna really try to keep after both the fenders and wheels. Thanks again! Steve

    I thought the fenders on the RPods are made of stainless steel.    David
