Who else waxes their workers?

Had the horse out today for the first mowing of the season and gave it a bath after...couldn't resist freshening her up with some turtle wax I had laying around the garage. just curious if I'm being a little eccentric here.

wax on flat olive camo would be hard to buff off

I wax my tractors. Call me crazy. I like my stuff clean and all maintenance done.

My 875 is too dulled out to wax but I have a JD LX277 that I wax at the start of the season.

Once in awhile when I wash them, I will use some of that spray wax on the hood.

When my B-I-L moved into his house he bragged how the 1950's furnace was waxed by the old guy who lived there and you could shave yourself with the reflection. It blew up his first winter!  :)

Believe it or not I actually do wax my tractors if they have non porous paint... And those that do not get the salad dressing...

I admit being OCD. You can run a

buffer over Sunrise Red. The trick

is to use a mild compound!:rolleyes:

Seldom wax my truck or car.

 

I do, perhaps once a year, apply a little wax by hand to fenders and hoods on the Stallions. Don't you groom and shoe as needed Horses?  :laughing-rofl:

Neither do I.  But the tractors, they get waxed.

All my workers get a nice paste wax once per year.  However, I am a cyclist and we use this stuff called "Bike Lust" to wax and protect the bike frames from sweat.  It is a silicone pump spray.  Spray it on a clean rag, wipe it on the tractor (after it has been washed).  It dries is less than 5 minutes then wipe with a clean soft cloth.  Nice shine and it is quick.  However, since it is silicone, don't spray it anywhere near any electrical parts (like the fuse holder)!

I wax mine I  don't want them getting any worse. My dad still waxes his Troy-Built tiller every year and it's from the 70's. Shes a beauty. 

Hey at least the color is right.

No, dirt and dust stick to wax. I know a guy who restored a Farmall M, then waxed it and took it out into the field on a dry day pulling a disc. It wasn't red anymore by the time he was finished. I couldn't believe how the wax caused the dust to stick...much worse than if it wasn't.

OK, I stand corrected.   :scared-eek:  

But, you know, if I didn't witness this with my own eyes...

Oh yeah, I wax and polish compound mine too. In between that I use car detail "Spray and Wipe" then "ArmorAll" the tires.

But I'm not the least bit OCD about my Wheel Horses. No not me :ROTF:
