My results were marginal. I’m not convinced it really helped that much and is worth the effort of applying, buffing, etc. I’m going to apply another coat this year and see how it goes. I used Turtlewax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Coating. I will most likely stick with silicone.
On my Ariens I usually just spray it with Molykote Silicone Spray every few uses and that works great. No need to buff or polish. I just spray it and may wipe it down real quick but that’s not necessary. In a pinch I have used PAM cooking Spray which also works but can cause buildup.
