David,
I use it on everything except for tires (we also go through a lot of the tire protectant foam). The WD is sprayed on everything; painted metal, bare metal, all plastics, hoses, wire loom, (I try to not hit the steering wheel and pedals but it happens:). WD40 is fish oil (liquid wax in my eyes).
The key is the spray bottle, the actual WD40 bottle you can buy has an almost "cone-like" spray/mist. I call giving it our equipment the blessing as I simply wave and spray in a "cross-like" action with minimal "puffs". Let the spray dry a bit and wipe down the easy areas and let the rest be. The machines will shine like new and the WD also helps with "repelling" grime and seems to aid future clean up.
I also used to use a lot of Tylex with Mildew Remover but now I just use outdoor bleach and water in a spray bottle. Whenever we pressure wash anything, I try to make sure we spray all rims, rotary decks, reel housing, and all other areas that tend to accumulate the extra heavy grime. Spray the bleach water on, let it soak for a few seconds and wash off immediately, works great. Very little if any elbow grease involved:)
Between the two products, we can have a machine looking outstanding in a matter of minutes.........
The only problem I have (maybe not the only one) is this process is so easy there is no reason to not have all of our equipment looking great at all times!
Go Pack Go!
