Hi, I have a 15 year old galvanized trailer and was wondering what everybody used to clean them up with?
Many thanks
Gareth
Steam cleaner & then Waxoyl

It's not easy to make an older galvie trailer look less old. A good clean, maybe have the wheels shot blasted and painted. As PD says, a good whiff of waxoyl or white spray grease covers up a multitude of sins. ;-)
That'll remove any remaining galv, & any galv is better than no galv. That is unless you're going to have it regalved

I thought that once something had been galvanized you could not re-galv it. "brick" or muric acid seems a bit harsh to me.
Brick acid is "usually" hydrochloric & will strip galv (zinc) faster than a rat up an aqueduct. Items that are being galved are dipped in a bath of hydrochloric just prior to going in the zinc bath. You can re-galvanise as long as the prep is done correctly. Quite often we have to have items re-dipped if the quality of the initial dip isn't up to scratch, it just goes around the process again.
