It's usually a good idea as the stabiliser will be less effective if your ball is shiny ! Like wise make sure the inside of the hitch is clean and grease free to avoid terrible sounding ( and when you first hear it and don't realise the cause extremely worrying) creaks and groans from the rear of your vehicle.

I always carry a small spray can of brake cleaner and a strip of emery tape. I cover the tow-ball cover when unhitching and when I next hitch up occasionally have to give the ball a light clean. By the end of my journey it's usually creaking away but I believe this is due to the crap thrown out the exhaust.

Err hang on a minute. Does your Puck L have a stabiliser? If not, by all means clean off the paint but remember to apply a little grease, don't run it bone dry. If there is a stabiliser then proceed as above. Either way enjoy! George
