Hey folks -
I bought this handmade teardrop. I'm trying to figure out what kind of finish this is, how to easily get it cleaned up, and protected. The wheels and toolbox are a sprayjob red and I'd like to avoid damaging that too.
- What kind of aluminum finish is this? Brushed?
- I hear truck washes have an acid wash. Can I go to one of those, and follow up with turtle wax? Would that take care of the oxidation? Would I need to protect the toolbox/wheels with a plastic tarp or something?
- Ideally I'm looking for something quick, inexpensive, and to avoid removing the toolbox

I've used the search for other threads, but I'm uncertain of the best way to treat this particular finish and didn't want to get it wrong.
Thanks a lot!
