[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 7142654, member: 54866"] Used to open panels in the field and open the lids etc and then blow it all out in a good wind. The fuel tank thing I think stems from the days of metal tanks on machines. All plastic these days now. Wouldn't bother to fill it up, maybe chuck diesel additive stabiliser stuff in the tank if you were that worried. Can wash panels just fine with a brush and bucket of soapy water, no need to go blasting water all over the shop. Would be more concerned with removing all grain and chaff and straw out of the innards and around the engine etc to deter vermin. Can see the utility of polishing the panels as it smooths them off and would keep dust off too. Bit of a monster job though. Worth getting the specialist glass product for the windows too as that definitely works. Park machine in shed and run periodically, including air con. I would paint bare metal surfaces too but I know many people don't. Not sure if there is any mileage in leaving machine parked with doors and panels open in a shed? Moth balls in the cab was one recommendation I heard but they stink to high heaven. Often wondered if putting some kind of vertical panel enclosure around each wheel would stop vermin getting in?
