    I just give mine a good shake before I put it away.

    The vibrations usually get the dried up crap of it next time its used.

                depends what positions its been in.
                if its been upside down you need to polish more.
                if its been hanging around in long grass it needs the grass stains taking out.
                i guess chopper polishing is a personal thing.
                one mans polish is another mans rub.
