Re: what\'s the best wax or polish

Only a transplanted city dude would wax a tractor! A farmer down the road bought a new Massey Ferguson about ten years ago and it has been sitting outside ever since. It looks like it is about 30 years old. Now that's a real tractor guy.

Grew up on a farm myself....It's been in the family for 6, going on 7 generations. Not a lot of "city" in me....

We wash/wax/shed all of our equipment, including a yearly (or more frequently in some cases) wax/polishing of tractors and combines. They are worth many peso's.... I want them to remain in as good of condition as possible. Also, while cleaning, we get the opportunity to do a close-up inspection on the equipment. Many 'o time have we discovered something amiss that would have cause a very expensive parts failure/down-time while cleaning equipment.

I don't "preach" my thoughts to everyone, but will just say it pays off in the long run to take good care of the appearance of your equipment.

Re: what\'s the best wax or polish

I only wax the top of my hood on my JD....I used Nu Finish to do that......now I do the "up keep" with a new spray on Turtle Wax product that works great.....spray it on, rub it off and the hood looks like I used a fancy hand-rubbed paste. It is called Turtle Wax Express Shine.

I agree.. I paid a ton o' money for my tractor.. I'm making sure it lasts as long as possible. That includes a rain cover and wax.. etc.

<font color="blue"> I first noticed Lemon Pledge being used at a lawn and garden show,.... </font>

Auto buffs (no pun intended) have been doing this for decades, although they prefer ButchersBlock over Pledge. I've used both for years and it works well for me also.
