Thompson Water Seal on Tractors?

[JoeM 7,874]

I was talking to a guy the other day and he said his neighbor was using Thompson Water Seal on his stonework at the garage. The neighbor got some over spray on his old work truck. Instead of cleaning it he just sprayed a coat on the truck. The guy said that was last year and the truck still looks good and cleans up nice. 

Was wondering if anyone in this creative crowd has tried it on a WH?

@JoeM have not used thompson water seal , found a lubrication based spray on and  let soak before rub down, feeds the metal very well . in my state , conn , there is so much brine salt spray used on the winter roads , that a regular under  side wash down initially , flushes away the metal eater . this base paint cleaner . on a wheel horse , has really brought back some nasty looking neglected paint for me . after a lubrication paint feeding , you are right on the edge of making the paint look very good , just my experience , pete

I used this on the bed of my truck.

It a mixture of 4 oz. of Blaster, 12 oz. of transmission fluid , and 1/2 oz. of Dawn Ultra. Just sprayed it on, it's thick so I brushed it out and let it sit. It did get rained on about two weeks later, I didn't do anything else to it. It had 41 years of use before I put it on, and I didn't get a before picture.

I'm glad that Thompson Water Seal is good for something, I have used it for its intended purpose and it didn't last long.

We used to do a lot of tent camping when I was a kid.  My Dad would brush Water Lox on the tent when it was set up in the back yard.  Never had a leak when it rained.  Water Lox is another choice for wood floors like Thompson's Water Seal.  I used Water Lox on my horse trailer bed some years ago.  Still looks good.

@Lee1977  thats what i,m talking about !  that  subtle paint sheen tells me , there is lubrication involved , think that PT BLASTER  IS THE CARRIER  . my stuff takes on that oiled look  after my similar combination of  aerosol lubricant's and combinations , like you have. been doing for so long , don't even think about it , just do it . love the way it finds seams and closed box metal sections , not only paint protection / preservation , but its a rustproofing base , like i do with LUBRIPLATE  chain / open gear spray . and doing this is simple , instead of looking at rust , you can kill it off , stop it . my latest car , last year , got a complete soak down . days later it was body edging an oil film , up on lift for a lubriplate  extra heavy duty open gear , cable spray , still looks like i just did it . must be the lubrication in my veins , love saving metal , good job lee, oily pete

I may see if Kpinnc  will try it on pinkie his 520-H, unless he plans to repaint soon. Could be a problem under new paint.

It has dried completely on the truck bed no oil left on the surface

Nice truck. Does it have the 22R engine?

Thompson Water Seal does create problem for future paint work.
