Default cleanin the EX

does any one recomend washin my 400ex with anything other than a power washer? - and please dont tell me "dont use a powerwasher for starters" because i've never had a problem with dirt getting into bushings etc. because of the powerwasher, or even water for that matter.
but besides my powerwasher what should i use to get a REALLY clean looking quad?

Hmm, never heard the starter one, but I think that if you powerwash the chain, it can ruin the orings, or tear them. If your engine is greasy, rent a steam cleaner. Them things can do wonders...
