Once a year I wire brush the hitch plate down then repaint it using Rust-Oleum Black
(touch up hitch and pin box as needed)
I also use a 'teflon' plate
NO GREASE on head (which just ends up messy/attracts--holds dirt & grit/gets on you, pin box and clothes)
NO GREASE.....that's what the 'teflon' lube plate os for
Is it time for your medication or mine?
