I had a Featherlite open trailer and no matter what I did the aluminum oxidized. I finally found some wash/soap for aluminum trailers at a truck stop. It kept the oxidation down to a minumum and kept it under control. The are great trailers! and that was the only problem I had was keeping after the aluminum.
I remember paying just as much for my open trailer as the cheaper closed trailers were selling for. I sold it five years later for just a little less then what I paid for it. I only wish I could have afforded a closed one when I decided to go to a closed trailer.
