Any one that does have/use it, please report back on "how I like it", or "how I don't like it"

just cleared about 1500' of driveway. It didnt really seem to make a difference. I still had snow buildup in the blower housing. But then again it 1500' of snow may be a lot for one application, not to mention that i hit some dirt spots. All that probably just washed all the teflon off. I did buy two cans of that stuff. so i will keep trying.

Are there temperature requirements for the application? I use graphite usually and I was told I need to apply it over 60 degrees to get proper adhesion.

Honestly I don't really think it (the graphite) makes a material difference. I look forward to seeing what more comes of the teflon use.

I bought a couple cans of fluid film but I'll pick up a can of snow and ice. I'm not so much worried about the chute but I would like to spray something behind the auger. It builds up plenty of snow back there an either I have to get it out of there or let it melt in the garage. It doesn't see the punishment the chute sees so maybe it'll work better.

If you need 6 can's per storm........... you may want to think about paying someone to plow your driveway??

I sprayed down the blower real good before the blowing session.
I can't say I noticed any difference in the snow coming off from my brushing it with a whisk broom.
I always clean the snow off out side, as to not have it melting in the garage.
I still have a can and a 1/2, I will use it up but won't buy it again.

I tried that tire shine stuff the last storm in my bucket and it worked great.:thumbsup:

I have tried Pam cooking spray and did not really noticed any improvement, :confused2:. I think what I will do this summer is try the "wax on" , "wax off" treatment, :thumbsup:. KC
