Hi 2 things I have done are spray on WD40 and buff with a cloth, Did this on our friends 1460 combine before his sale, Auctioneer priced it pre sale/ polish at $8000. He saw it sale morning and couldn't believe it was the same combine. He re priced it at $10.000 and in the sale it made close to $11.000.
The other thing I have done is polished with used motor oil on a cloth. An old guy showed me this on an old faded car one day, I have done several tractors like this, it brings them up real good,and you can see the old paint tarnish on the cloth it removes. I found this doesn't soak into the old paint, like some color restorer like color back can. I had this happen with a big CaseIH in the dealer shop. I ended up quitting with color back and using the motor oil, the boss thought I was mad but couldn't believe the difference when it was done. The only thing is I don't know how long the finish lasts with either method. All I've ever done has been sold straight after.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
