I'll post this initial work and cleanup on our new to us 96 Scamp 13 in the maintenance section, and then when I get to the mods I'll be adding I'll post those in the modifications section.

First, a good initial washing was done last weekend.  This simple step revealed a whole different 13 Scamp that was hidden under years of AZ Brown storage dirt.

Next, after clearing everything off the tongue and removing the spare tire, I began test polishing the bottom sections on the front and rear of the trailer so that I could replace the equipment on the tongue and remount the spare tire with a brand new tire cover.  Since the chalking was about a 5 on a 1 to 10 scale I tried a new product that had very good reviews on marine sites:

3M Marine Restorer and Wax (16.9 fl-Ounce)

I used a power car polisher to apply the product and I have to say it restored to gelcoat to almost original condition.   Round 2 will be to finish polishing the remaining sections of the Scamp.  I'll polish/wax it again in about 60-90 days to bring it back and protect it from any further chalking.

Here was the condition of tongue:

After a complete wire brushing and a can of Rustoleum Paint/Primer you get this:

Now on to the rear bumper:

Cost/time for these cleanup items:

3M Wax-Restorer $17

Power polish bottom sections front and rear approximately 30 minutes.

2 cans Rustoleum black primer/paint $8

Wire brush/paint tongue and rear bumper 1 hr.

If you have a Molded Fiberglass Trailer that needs a pop, one of the simplest and best things to do outside of a good shell polish/wax is to wire brush any rust and reshoot the tounge/bumper.  It is not a difficult job and it really pops an older trailer.  Also, a good time to rework your mechanicals when they are off the trailer.

Next up, I'll be putting the equipment back on the tongue, putting the spare tire and new cover on, completing the polishing/wax, and adding the missing rear stabilizers back on the rear bumper.

Upcoming mods I'll be doing after the cleanup:

1. Bringing 12V lines to the passenger side of the Scamp
2. Adding Shurflo pump and new faucet to the onboard water system
3. Adding city water inlet
4. Adding a porchlight
5. Adding LED reading light on passenger side main bed
6. Changing out all interior lighting to LED and new fixtures
7. Removing Scamp wrought iron support and changing to a chrome support pole with rosette bases.
8. Putting new cabinet doors
9. Changing to Allure flooring

Stay tuned!
