John Deere

My brother recently bought a 7 yr. old John Deere tractor. I went over to help him clean up. It had some water spotting and streaking so I tried Optimum compound and a blue pad with a PC. Didn't do much. I then figured I would try a paint cleaner. I used, and this is a blast from the past, Medallion premium paint cleaner and a orange pad. This got rid of almost all the defects and had quite a bit of green paint on the pad. I am assuming there is no clearcoat hence the green. My question is since I am out of MPPC should I continue with a paint cleaner and then polishing? If so what will take the place of MPPC? I only had a small amount of MPPC and didn't get over the whole tractor. I know this is not your everyday question.

Welcome to Autopia.



Klasse AIO sounds like it would fill the bill just fine. It's a chemical cleaner and with the orange pad it'll remove that old oxidized paint and spotting just fine. It does wonders on old faded red so it'll tackle the JD green too.



For the final step, you could go with the Klasse sealant (the AIO and sealant are known as 'The Klasse Twins', sort of like the Sedin twins. OK, I'm Canadian.) Most any sealant will work too though.
