Yep its been a hard winter, snow and ice since the first of December. And that followed a drought over summer. All on top of a newly laid lawn.. yep we'll be reseeding once all the chrome work is done ........lolololololol
As for cleaning, 15-20 minutes--its chrome you just wipe it down on most days, and maybe once a month or every six weeks polish it up which only takes about30-45 minutes.. It'd take a lot longer if it was all polished, but only the frame is polished, and I go over it once a year with a REAL polisher.
