Default grass building up under deck? any help

Just got my brand new shiny ZT1 50. Now IF THEN SENT THE KEY WITH IT ID BE HAPPY......but they are bringing on this afternoon...but we will see.... people so incompetant these days.... anyrate not to digress but.

with that I was thinking if applying something like wd-40 or even PAM to the underside of the deck to help combat grass build up under the deck. I have the fabricated deck. I know nothig is 100% and over tile it will but....just so I can keep it from not getting too bad. when changing out blades or sharpening I always scrape off the underside anyways but just wondering if anyone has had any luck with the use of somethng to help it......I know a big help is I wont Mow WET grass for sure!!!!!
TIA....

Don't mow when the grass is wet.
Blow everything off when done.

Mow the sticks, they help to clean the deck, so does mowing on sandy ground.
Other than that, just use your putty knife to clean out under the deck, as clippings are very corrosive.

Smooth, new paint doesn't allow as much to stick to it, but depending on what you are mowing, rocks (etc.) chip away at it quickly and gets you back to where you probably already are.

You can use this stuff but it didn't last too long for me.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
