I do wash them and put some tfr on with brush. Just never polished one.

Id rather grease it than polish it.

haha - I’ve never even polished a car, ute, motorbike or truck, let alone a tractor

having said that, I rarely wash them either . . .

always said it was just a sign of nothing else to do & a lack of imagination:ROFLMAO:

One day when I was working on farm near Walgett didn't have any jobs so washed my tractor.

The farmer was shocked when he got back. Think he quite liked it clean though. He never swore at me, which was rare!

First place I worked at in WA they had oiled the grain cart to keep paint and stop corrosion. I wanted to wash it as all the dust was sticking to oil and they wouldn't let me.

used to be common to spray gear down with diesel . . .

I’ve considered a colour change for mine... am I mental? I can imagine a wrap being cheaper but paint is probably the best way for a proper job?

If you are gonna use TFR then use it on a damp, dull day, don't exceed the concentration stated on the drum and don't let it dry out on the panels. Do one panel at a time, spray it, leave to dwell and rinse straight off. Then do the next one.

And when you don’t use it in that manner and have some stains on the paintwork, what’s the best way to get them out [emoji85][emoji15]
