I got my Honda HRX into the shop for a tuneup and stuff on Monday before the mowing season. I would do it myself but I just don't have the tools to do it. They changed the oil, sharpened the blades, replaced the spark plug, all the usual things. But they also did an AMAZING job at cleaning the mower off! I wasn't home when they delivered the mower today so I found it dropped off at my house. I know this is sad, but at first I thought it wasn't my mower! I thought they had delivered a brand new one....that's how good it looked! Here are some before and after pictures of the mower! :thumbsup:

No I didn't but I should. There was a lot of dust in some parts of it from doing leaf cleanup and also from over the summer when there was the rust disease on the lawns, and I am assuming they used some sort of blower on those small areas, like an air compressor. But I don't know what they used for the engine and back cover and stuff like that...it looks really nice!

We use TFR (traffic film remover) on every machine before we work on them.
It does give a good finish but because I dont want to touch the dirt and dog s##t that many machines have.

Yep I use the air compressor for the top layer of junk, and dawn to finish it up it really does work pretty good.
