I first wash, scrub down with auto soap and warm water. Rinse well, towel dry, spray down the frame with Armor-All and then wipe the plastic and racks down with either Armor-All or Mother's Back to Black. Just like brand new!

what about getting the cooked on dirt stains off the engine. In East Tx, there's this red clay dirt that stains everything it touches. I've sprayed the engine with all sorts of things but it's still there.

Also you guys, you can get a spray that is called [ Son Of A Gon]. It does wonders on you'r atv, you give a good spray cotting on you'r atv and let it set for an hour, after that it shins way better than brand new.

too get your engine looking new and take the stains out, use EAGLE - ONE mag cleaner...they make diffent kinds...the all wheel cleaner is good too and want hurt a thing..however, the mag cleaner will get everything metal you touch with it like new, but keep it away from your rims because it will spot them...believe me i about punched myself after doing it to my stock rims but now i have douglas...hope this helped!

First I hose it down with water. Then I scrub entire quad with towel and soapy water. Hose down again and dry with towel. It takes a while but I don't mind and the quad is looking great when I'm done.

Honda sells stuff called Hondabrite, just get your quad a little clean. Spray this stuff on, wait a few minutes, then just hose it off!
