  I bought a new Ariens 724 2 cycle snow thrower this  year ,and am wondering what those on this site might recommend for end of year maintenance my snow blower?  Manual is helpful,but not  complete.   I not interested in tearing this thing apart.  thanks

This is when wax is not used for good looks.  Wash the blower first to remove any road salt from EOD clearing.  Then wax. . . doesn't matter if it's paste or liquid especially if the machine will be covered and protected from the elements.  A friend in the neighborhood now has rust appearing on his machine because he never washes or waxes it after a season.
