I finally bought a new mower this Spring. I was mulching 22" with 3.75 HP. This mower is 12 yrs old, and never been cleaned. I cleaned it up for the garage sale this weekend.



Wash: 1 Bucket Purple Power full strength with old wash cloth

Dry: Old Towel

Wax: the Wax Shop Cleaner Wax (had to use it on something:) )

Sorry -- it was cloudy. The sun brings out the true shine. You'll notice I also did not scrub the inside of the wheels. I'm just trying to recoup some of the $30 -- I spent in tune-up supplies and accessories last season. It starts on the first pull every time.
 
were you worried the old wash cloth might marr the finish? from the results i'd say you knew what you were doing. haha thats awesome.
 
LOL. I did not use tire dressing. The speed of my hand was about 60 rpm. I could have spent more time on it, but I'll be lucky to get $25 for it.



When I uploaded the pictures, I was shocked how bad the "Before" ones looked. I showed the family. My wife said "you probably want to keep it now".
