With every snow season I seem to be getting more "icy mix" storms which make snowblowing a chore. My B3200's chute will eventually clog up with a concrete-like mush of water and snow. My question is about Rust-Oleum NeverWet, which I have used to seal my work boots. It supposedly works on metal, so I was wondering if anyone had tried using it on a snowblower?
Snowblower and Rust-Oleum hydrophobic spray

Pam cooking spray works well as well. What I used before I sold my blower and hired the guy down the road to plow out the drives for 10 bucks a time. Don't even need to go outside.
FYI, Rustoleum now has a Kubota Orange 2 spray paint (and in quarts too) that is a dead match for a Kubota with Orange 2 (late model color). Just did my cast weights on my M's.

Spray Fluid Film or Cooking Spray on your snowblower and it will help prevent the snow from sticking.

I second the fluid film it’s the best solution I’ve tried so far.

I've been using Snow-Jet, works well no clogging and can sweep off the housing before it goes back into the garage. The more you use it the slicker it gets, going on 3 seasons using it. I think I bought it at TSC.
Thanks guys. I'm going to head over to TSC, but in the mean time im going to treat the blower with the remainder of the Rust-Oleum spray.
Post your results please!
Another option is RainX...if you spray it on when the blower is dry and above freezing it works well until it wears off.

First year with the blower on a tractor. Both storms so far have been the worst possible for a larger format snowblower....4-6" of slushy mush.
First thing I did was remove that stupid safety grate.
Second thing I did was run it at a much higher RPM which seemed to help clogging a ton and the manual confirmed max RPM for wetter snow.
I'm going to try a few of the sprays listed here. I've been using my wife's cooking spray for years. The local TSC has some kind of pretty heavy duty looking spray-on graphite that I may try.

Fluid Film is great stuff. A friend first told me about it years ago but it was only available at John deere dealers and $12 a can!!!!! Was at Lowes yesterday and saw a display for $4.24. Actually one can had the sticker on it for that price. I quickly scooped up all I could carry. When the lady rang it up, it showed, $8.99. I showed her the can with the sticker and her response was, " It must be on sale", I agreed. I should have gotten more.
If anyone would like more information and opinions of Fluid Film, here's a good link (PlowSite dot com). It's used frequently on snow plow equipment including truck frames. I buy it in gallon cans on Ebay.

My new WoodMaxx snowblower has a white plastic liner in the chute. I've used it 5-6 times now and it really shoots the snow.
Maybe the plastic liner is an option for your snowblower too.

We haven't had a whole lot of snow, but I did test DuPont Snow and Ice Repellent and Snojet. Both products worked wonders on the tractor snowblower and my Ariens snowblower. Pam spray also seemed to work just as well but then a few days later my wife was wondering why the can was empty for cooking. It reminded me of time I used cheap vodka in an emergency to thaw out my car's windshield during a nasty ice storm. It didn't work because the bottle had been refilled with water. At least I found out which of my teenage kids were drinking the vodka.
