Cleaning the Tractors

[garrettjdg]

kinda makes me feel bad that i dropped some topsoil on the hood of my 3 month old MX5100HST the other day, however I did wash the salt off it this winter, now its dirty with dirt.

What products did you use? Heck I think I should try them on my truck! It doesn't look that good!

I don't know "94BULLITT" personally, but I think he's probably just like me when it comes to taking care of his things. I find cleaning my tractor, truck, m/cycle, etc., relaxing (even tho it is work), and I'd much rather be doing that than sitting in front of a TV set. It's been said that a vehicle always seems to run better when it's clean. I can't say that statement is true or not, but I always feel better when they're clean. :cool2:

Yes I like to try to keep them clean but they are both getting dirty.

Yours are looking good all polished up. I washed mine yesterday....It p!ssed down rain for about 8 hours. Now, how about the car in the back ground, is that a Hudson?

If you blow the pictures up guys, you can see the dirt.

Thanks. The car was a customers Buick.

I washed them with Meguiars Gold class car wash. I used the 2 bucket method. Then I used mothers California gold clay bar on the tractors. After the clay bar I used my Porter Cable 7424XP to apply Pinnacle fine swirl remover 2, Blackfire gloss enhancing polish, pinnacle carnuba finishing glaze, and Rejex paint sealant. For the tougher to get to areas or odd shapped areas like the 3 point hitch and axle housing I used Meguiars mist and wipe detailer. On the loader and mower deck I just used pinnacle fine swirl remover 2 and rejex sealant. Check out the AutoGeek Forum, there is a lot of info on there.

Just in case you think I am afraid to get them dirty.

I might be able to polish for a couple hours on my hood, but it would never look like that. The missing hood ornament and being well dented would sorta make it a waste of time.
My back wheels (and ONLY the back wheels) are faded so bad they almost look like they have pink shade.

I admire those that put in the time and effort, but I couldn't justify it.

Sorry but that's not dirty. Show us a picture of the bx stuck past the axles in mud and the L towing it out while spinning its wheels!
