How many people wax their rims?

[kthompson]

There is no doubt a good wax layer helps protect. Wish I was discipline enough to do so. Is there a good spray on wax to use on the nooks such as rear of transmission. Hey, every where?

I do not wax anything that isn't orange!

Once a year. I wash & wax once a year whether it needs it or not. Of course it always needs it though.

That is such a straight line, and I am soooooo tempted, but no, I'm not gonna do it.

I have to admit 3-1/2 years ago I thought of waxing the new L39 as they unloaded it.

Now there is barely any paint to wax.

It's a Tractor!

This is what my tractor looks like after a day's work, often as not:

From this you can tell two things: 1) My tractor gets used hard and 2) There is no substitute for R1s.

So its no garage queen. And until recently if lived totally outdoors. With this sort of use (susbtitute the mud dust and weeds for when its dry) I rinse my machine off after most heavy use. Wash it once or twice a year. Waxed it once, just hood and fenders. That's why it still looks like this (before use) after 3 years of work:

Now, I'm guessing this post is a poke at a now famous new member. But my tractor is due for a wash and wax and while I'm at it I may very well wax the rims and the ROPS. Might sound nuts to some, but if I have the time and the inclination, why not? It will last longer, keep its value longer and the truth is, mud, dirt and dust all rinse off a waxed surface easier. I'll keep you posted.

Those look like pretty new tires...did you replace them...if so after how many hours?

I also wax under the fenders, under the hood, back of the fel, backhoe, cab glass, all pistons, 2005 with 300hrs on the clock and showroom condition.
only thing not waxed is the Fel bucket and backhoe bucket. She also has her own heated garage bay with auto opener remote inside cab , A/C Heat, Satellite Radio, Cd player, full gauges.
And yes I'm d*mn proud of it.

I set 'em up, someone's got to knock 'em down!

But I'll stand by that statement....although the ROPS is looking a bit dingy....
