Martin:



You inquired about polishing your aircraft with Nuvite.  We used it  

with our 601 HDS and had great success.  It took about 50 hours using  

all three polishes but we only did it once in five years with the  

exception of the leading edges which would get an application about  

once a year.



Our aircraft was hangared the entire time and the Denver area is very  

dry and corrosion is not usually a problem.  Our post-flight included  

thoroughly wetting a towel and wiping the bugs off the leading  

edges.  We immediately followed that by wiping it down with a dry  

towel.  Total time each post-flight=about 5 minutes.



The only down side to polished aluminum is that it is difficult to  

see when airborne in comparison to a painted aircraft.

The other disadvantage to a polished plane is that it shows the ripples 

and "smiles" in the skins more than a painted plane. Given the quality 

of my construction I am thinking of painting mine camouflage 



If you want to see two examples of (mostly) polished XLs take a look at 

William Wynne's and Phil Maxson's. William lives in Florida and does 

not appear to be worried about corrosion:

All,

 Here is a link that I had sent before on polishing. Dave has done a good job on his Sonex. You can follow along and read about his adventures with polishing Aluminum.

 Good Luck,
