I've got 5 flights on my new RV7A and am bothered by the surface condition after 8 years of building (minor scratches and surface oxidation where I removed the blue covering for rivet lines but left the blue covering for extra years on the major areas between rivets.
I'm inclined to try slowly wrapping the plane in vinyl over time, but would like to do something now to immediately improve the surface condition for the next year or so.
Are there any problems with polishing for a year prior to wrapping? Would a freshly polished surface be a good starting point for a DIY vinyl wrap?
I hear votes for not polishing prior to painting, but what if I intend to wrap.
Thanks,
Jim Clark
