Paint Finish Care

Never use strong soaps, chemical detergents, or cleaning agents containing acids, caustics, or abrasives. It is best to use commercially available car wash (non-detergent) products which will not remove protective wax, which may be applied to the paint finish.

• Wash tractor regularly, particularly if it has been exposed to herbicides, pesticides, road salt, or other chemical agents.
• Never wash tractor in direct sunlight.
• All cleaning agents should be rinsed away promptly and not be allowed to dry on painted surface.
• Waxing tractor occasionally is recommended to remove residue from and further protect paint finish. Never use waxes containing abrasive compounds.
• Inspect paint surface during washing or waxing for chips and scratches. Repaint any areas where paint has been damaged.
