Ditto the Liquid Glass (or equivalent) polymer coating- it really helps to allow dirt & dust to slide right off. Many times only a hose --air or water-- is all that's required to keep it clean. Do the same for my cars.

I agree with one of the earlier posters.... I use mine like a tractor but I take care of it as well. I waxed it when I first bought it and I think I did just the hood a year or so later. It stays in the garage so I can't see doing it too often. I do however keep my clothes on!

The closest to waxing I ever get is when I spill a little diesel fueling up. When I wipe the fuel off the cowl, I just keep wiping until the whole panel looks the same. This probably does more harm than good, but diesel is basically kerosene and the Brits call kerosene paraffin. Where I come from paraffin is wax. There, I waxed my tractor.

Down south, I think.

But I do know that you do have to go down to find it.

To lazy??? you have to be kidding me. Maybe we are doing real work. As for the rest of the post...more info than we needed to know.

To some of us it is obviously a joke.

To others of us it is obviously a very serious matter.

To me it's a joke. I can barely find time to grease and service my tractor. I don't have the luxury of time to wax my implements (or body parts). If I did have the time, I'd probably still choose to spend it tinkering or building something fun. I do wash my tractor a few times a year, though; and I feel silly doing that.
