it can get muddy at that temp though. My recon has mud caked up on the footpegs about 6 inches thick thats frozen. You have to really on gravity to keep you standing on it. Take a screwdriver and chip the mud off, if that doesnt work I dont know what will.

Take it to a self wash. It will only cost you a couple of $$

Quad300ex,Well you asked for it,so here it goes.I never put my quad up dirty.I go to the 25 cent wash and spray it off.My pole barn is fully insulated.It is also equipped with a wood stove,100k furnance,and 165k propane heater for the really cold days.I'll start a fire in the wood stove while the propane heater is just'' flooding'' the barn with heat.After about 10 minutes, I shut the propane heater off and run on just the Wood stove.I can heat the barn anywhere from 65-to 90 degrees.After washing the quad,I dry it down in the Barn.I use a solvent called DO ALL on the plastic.Im very lucky to enjoy the fruits of heat/water/electricity/gas/and Cable TV that the pole barn offers.Since not everyone has heat,I'd probably still take it to the 25 cent power wash.If it sounds like I really enjoy my pole barn,I DO.=====BILL
