Default Protecting A New Investment...

Just bought my first ATV, 2005 Honda Foreman 500. Don't mean to sound "prissy" but I was wondering if anyone could offer some tips on how to keep the thing looking good? Don't get me wrong...this thing's going to get MUDDY, but what I'm mostly referring to is how to keep the fenders from fading and protecting everything else from rust and grime, etc... Is ArmorAll something that can be applied often to protect those fenders? Are there any other products that you would suggest? I would just like to do whatever necessary to protect my investment. Thanks!

I spray our quads down with WD-40[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] It displaces the water and helps fight rust. Been doing this for years with no adverse negative affects. Just don't get it on your seat or bars[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

I too think a good wipe down with Forumla 2001 is a great way to go. It will make the mud come off alot easier and hids scratches.
