Do any of y'all seal, wax or ceramic coat your tractor??

No it’s a tractor it’s gonna get real dirty real fast. As I get older I meticulously cleaning cars isn’t really on my list of priorities anymore. My 69 charger and hellcat challenger are garage kept but I couldn’t even tell you the last time I properly cleaned them.

Fair enough, and congrats on the fine Mopar specimens, sir!

I rinse mine off with a hose, and clean out the screens and radiators, after mowing the field and once in awhile in between. If you are using a foam cannon, I can't see not using a decent ceramic wash/rinse. I wouldn't be polishing it by hand though

I wish I could just rinse mine off with a hose, but to get all the crap off, especially GA clay, I usually have to use soap (foam cannon helps loosen up the tougher dirt & grime faster, I just use a different blend for the tractor). It takes about 1 minute to apply, let it sit for about 10 minutes and then it takes a lot less passes from the pressure washer.

Again, this is why I asked in my original post if any kind of paint surface treatments helped making routine wash-downs easier / faster for others....

Mine get washed, every time it rains... I let mother nature take care of that however, I will say, a week ago, I had the cover off and had full access to engine (in backhoe). This part doesn't get rained on much so actually has quite a bit of dirt/dust/muck accumulated over 20+ years.... so while engine cover was off, I took power washer to it and got most of it cleaned off.

I probably wash my tractor once or twice a month. I use a hot water pressure washer which does a great job cutting through any smeared grease and have a few different degreasers for when it’s really bad. Typically in the winter I wax the green panels on the tractor, it does give it some shine but mainly it makes washing easier later on. It’s certainly no show piece but for a 20 year old tractor it still cleans up nice.

I'm in the occasionally wash and wax camp. There's not that much painted area on my tractor, and it only takes a few minutes with my product choice.
I use ProtectAll RV "wax" on my vehicles and tractor. Wipe on, lightly wipe off, and it goes on paint, rubber, gaskets, and glass.

I wash the Taco Wagon( 2018 Ram HD 2500 Power Wagon ) about once per month. I wax it once in the spring. I hose down the tractor when it gets dirty. I have never waxed the tractor.

I was told never use a pressure washer on the tractor - can push water into places you don’t want any water like seals and grease points.

Is this not true?

I just hand wash with mild soapy water and spray off with a hose.

Then, I will apply some wax.

Not since my nephew got old enough to buy his own Ice cream.

I read a post by someone on another tractor forum who said that he washed his tractor with a cup of wd-40 in five gallons of water. He claimed that it protects paint, rubber, and decals and keeps it looking new.

We all know the water would jump out of the bucket and you’d just have a cup of wb40 in there. lol.
