I know the guys own at the county road department pretty well and one of their suppliers gave them a few samples of a spray designed for their plow blades. I tried some and it works pretty well, but it just seems to be a spray version of car body wax. I have been experimenting for several years with various sprays including pam, silicone WD-40 and now this stuff. I've tried it on my loader as well as most of the interior surfaces of my 3-point snowblower. This wax seems to hold on a little longer in my experience, but not by much. They are all gone by the end of a few hours of snow moving.
A year ago I sanded down the interior of my front end loader and every surface I could get at on the snowblower, then gave them a couple coats of primer and a couple more of the highest gloss paint I could find. The results were amazing - better than any of the sprays I used and lasted all winter. Wet and sticky snow slid off easier than I hoped for. I need to give everything another coat for this winter, since some of the spring snow removal contained some gravel, and the loader was used a lot over the summer, which scraped off a lot of paint.
My best advice is to keep the surfaces smooth and shiny with a good quality paint. I used the farm equipment IH red from the local farm store straight form the quart can with a brush for the snow blower and Rustolium black gloss spray for the loader.
Hope that it works as good again this year.
