Naked Mooney Hits the light of Day

We recently did this with another Mooney, and I thought the same thing about polishing, but we were told by a man who has a polished 172 that all you do afterward is polish it.  Lots of time with your airplane, but too much of it is not flying time.

Are you doing the control surfaces as well?  If so I believe you'll have to have them re-rigged / balanced

Yes - we plan to do that next - I wanted to see how the stripping/polishing goes before we get into the control surfaces.
