would you recommend this product on a tractor that only gets hand washed once each year or do I need a cleaner/wax to clean rather than a sealer

I cleaned/washed my older 13 year old car first to remove the dirt and grime, then put on the paint sealer. You will see areas that might need a second application. Take your time, be in no hurry as the instructions call for 15 minutes to dry after application. Good luck

We use the Meguair's 67 one step compound on our RV's because the gel gloss was oxidized then used the 2.0 for a final coat. It's hard work but worth it and when you only do it every year. First heard about this product from a guy with a huge expensive motorhome that said he only had to do his once a year with 2.0 vicve 3 times a year with carnuba wax.

This product is a paint sealant, not a cleaner. That is, paint finishes typically are prepared for an annual waxing such as that which you have described by first washing the vehicle (use a high quality car wash product) and then removing paint imperfections using a three stage process of compounding, polishing and waxing (or sealing the paint). Using products from Meguiar's, all this can be done successfully by almost anyone with a little practice. But, I would suggest you contact Meguiars technical hotline to discuss your specific situation and product needs.

Hello Brad, I used this product on our fiberglass RV after I had buffed it with rubbing compound. The end result was amazing! The RV sheds water as if it was oil. I also put it on my pickup which turned out great too. I am pleased with the results of both of my vehicles and it would probably work really well on your tractor as well. It does not have to be applied in a thick coat and is easy to remove, just be sure the surfaces you are working on are clean, and remember the appearance of your work is kind of like life itself, you get out of it what you put into it. I hope this helped you in your decision, have a great day! Hello Brad, I used this product on our fiberglass RV after I had buffed it with rubbing compound. The end result was amazing!

I would recommend this product on any exterior item you wish to protect. I used this on my 2013 vehicle this past July and it still appears to have a protective appearance. Easy to apply and take off, just have to leave on at least 15-25 minutes before removing.

On a prepared surface this sealant will only last about 3-6 months. If the paint hasn't been clayed and polished the sealant will not last as long. Take a look at Duragloss 671 swirl mark remover. It's a longer lasting sealant with a polish to help remove oxidation and swirls.

Some equipment like tractors and snow blowers don't have base coat clear coat paint on them like our cars do. Most all of todays waxes and sealants have a cleaner in them. The way to find out is take a conventional wax and apply it with a white rag. Rub it in and if you see the color of your tractor on the rag then you've got the old style paint without the clear coat. I have an old car with the original laquer paint. I can only use Mother's carnuaba paste wax on it. Carnuaba looks wicked shiny but it doesn't last long. This Meguairs sealant applies easy and comes off easy and holds up well. Its my favorite so I would recommend using it.

I would suggest a cleaner/wax. Sealers will seal any contaminants in; for this reason, you should always clean the paint as well as possible prior to application.

No, it won't remove dirt, wax or grease-you will have to clean it first. You might try Murphy's Oil Soap for that.

We've had it for quite some time now and have had no need to do any major cleaning. Just use good quality oils and you'll be okay.

It seems no different in cleaning than my previous model but there is a *6 Row DirtLifter PowerBrush that you can use if you have a bad stain. I have never had to use it.

I only clean it when the oil looks bad. That depends on how often we use it. Cleaning was easier than other friers due to less of parts. I drain it and soak it over night in soapy water, rinse the next day. Vingar can be used to help cut some of the oil on the stainless steel. I hope this helps.

Yes it has to be cleaned and oiled. The indicator on the filter housing will indicate when. On average once a year in low dust conditions. You can get the kit from Toyota or use a K&N; recharge kit.

I cleaned initially with clorox. Then use the 5 year preservative. Then repeat each 5. If you don't have a dolly you should get one. Makes use much easier.

Yes I actually just cleaned our truck upolstety with it. Worked awesome. Use a prestain if you have some tough spots. I had to press s little harder on the seats as the water soaked down.Its a great machine.

I used their cleaner before applying the wax to my boat. Follow the directions on the bottle. I does need to be shaken and may appear thick. If so just warm the bottle in bath of warm water. Check out the makers web site for info. The wax is worth the work!

Hello, I've used on my new guitar, but I'm not sure if this will clean up wax. Try google for that information. Thanks,Leo.

I'm not sure how safe it is on products that aren't "painted". On a side note, I don't really recommend this product at all. I had it on a Black Tahoe and to me, it didn't help. Waxing would've been better. Everytime I ran through the carwash or handwashed my rig, if I didn't instantly towel dry I ended up with tons of spots.

You have to hand wash everything. No dishwasher! It will rust if you do that. It's pretty easy to wash everything its just time consuming because there are at least 7 different parts to wash. You have to wipe down the motor if it gets dirty, no submerging. It would be easier to clean the grinding plates if you use pipe cleaners. That would ensure you get all the bits out of those little holes.

I only do the wax step, since My Truck is New and I Am extremely happy just doing that. I am sure if it is a older car/truck, the other steps could be helpful, but to tell the truth I have never felt the need since the wax cleans as U Wax It. The Wax is a Great Product just as a Wax

I do not know of any professional way to clean it but I did use WD-40 on the ball bearings and it kinda helped keep it smooth as well as the other part it slides on to stop it from getting stuck. The rest I just wiped down with a cloth and water. I probably am not doing it right but that is how I did it.

If you plan on keeping the vehicle it would be a good idea. It wa the easiest part of the job. Scraping the old rubber that is sealed to the outside of the bearing was the most time consuming part. Took me 30 mins to get it clean. Well worth the time and money considering the dealer will charge you $1,380.00... Poor design by VW/Porshe if you ask me.

I used the son seal on a pair of BLACK DIAMOND Gloves(dirt bags).It worked just fine so far,I would definitely recommend it.I seals conditions and waaterproofs.I'll know more at the end of the season.I've done 4 or5 pair of gloves and still have about half a jar left.The important thing is to use the hair dryer to heat the leather and let the wax melt in and seal the leather GOOD LUCK GREG!
