The Zep Floor wax post got me thinking again didn't want to high jack it. Was also the fluid film you truck post. Anyways last month when we had that wet heavy snow. I'm out side trying to blow that crap kept plugging the blower shoot. Thinking like I do about things I went in house grabbed a can spray furniture polish. Sprayed the inside the shoot and blower wheel. I could have used silicone spray lube. But and is always a but My brother worked for years at a company that made all that kinda of cleaning stuff. So I have at no cost a case of the large spray cans of furniture polish. Basically what most would know as Lemon Pledge. It's not that brand but pretty much same thing industry version. I really haven't used it for polishing furniture don't really have that kind of stuff in house. I have been using it to spray rails on sliding doors I have. I've sprayed hinges and other things where just needed light lubrication didn't want to use petroleum based lub. I also used to wax the roll up door rails on the fire truck I drove. Wax don't collect road dirt like grease or things like that.
The post about the fluid film your truck got me thinking. So the other day when I was spraying the snow blower shoot. I took a lap around my truck sprayed the plastic liners in wheel wells. Figure it should keep the slug balls from getting so big by the wheels. Southern people might not know what I'm talking about. Anybody that gets any snow to drive in even little wet stuff would know. I don't own a snow plow but Ive heard few people say they had waxed theirs. Any one here used the pledge type wax on anything besides furniture? Maybe guy could put the Zep wax in pump sprayer. Do your plow, wheel wells on vehicle who knows what all. Maybe whole under underside of truck. Wax might be more forgiving to some type of material than petoluem coating.

When I pulled a grain trailer I waxed the hopper bottom at times. For those that dont know a grain trailer has an open top. A tarp goes over it after loading. Two hoppers with a sliding door in the bottom. You usually pull over a pit with an auger in it. Open the door and everything runs out the bottom. Some stuff, like meat and bone meal or dry distillers grain tends to plug up. Waxing the hopper helped a bunch. Very little hammering or digging to get stuff out.

I've used the non-stick spray used on pots and pans.
