Ranger, when I was in high school I use to beat up kids like you. I'm much calmer now though.
What the hell is a deusch anyway? I take it you are in the special slow learning class???

I get at mine with a rag and soapy water. Then spray it with a semi high powered hose. Then give it a good coat of Armor All. Except the seat. Don't want to slide off trying to climb a hill. Ha Ha!

I normally just spray it down with a water hose get a rag and some wd40 and and shine that mog right up and that is what we use on the "grave digger" as well as all the other truck owners so I hope this helps.

p.s. It will not hurt to power wash it if you be carefull

WHAT I DO TO CLEAN MY 300EX IS I GET A bucket of water and a spong and get all the mud off and then spray it down with a hose and then I get my WD40 out and spary a thin coat all over my quad. and although the WD40 makes **** like dust an such stick it is much easyer to clean off later on because it is sticking to the WD40 not the plastic

Andrew,my brother Joe owns a real prominent Auto Body repair facility here in Flint Michigan.He buys this ''DO ALL'' for me at a cost of 85 dollars per 5 gallon pail.[he uses it in the interiors and tires on his clean-ups]It seems like a high price,but it really is not.It is not for sale to the general public to the best of my knowledge.I will ask Joe and see if it can be bought elsewhere.I'll get back with you as soon as I find out.=====BILL

I also refuse to put my quad away dirty. We ride near a river that feeds into the Gulf of Mexico, so depending on how much rain we've had or which way the wind is blowing the river may have alot of saltwater in it.

Anyway, we powerwash them on the way home from riding. When I get home I spray them down with "303." This stuff is sort of like Armor All but was designed for aviation use and has UV protectants. It does not leave a greasy film on the bikes and after it drys, dust/dirt/mud won't stick to it and water beads up on it. Great stuff but pricey $60/gallon. It makes it extremely easy to clean later because everything just falls off when you hose it down.

I don't use 303 every time because it is so expensive but it lasts awhile. Some other ideas we've tried is spraying them down with WD-40, tire cleaner foam, PAM cooking spray, etc. All have worked pretty well but I haven't found anything to beat the 303.

I'd be interested to try the "Do All" that Bill has referred to. If you're interested in the 303, go to www.303-products.com

I never power wash my bikes the pressure will wash the grease right out of the bearings/bushings making them not last as long. I use simple green wet the bike down and spray simple green and let the bike sit wash down with hose for really caked on mud you will have to scrub. after that dry and i use Mop and Glo found at the local supermarket pour on a rag and wipe it on it brings back the shine. After that i use mothers polish for all the chrome and alloy metals. and a little tire wet/shine and your all set

Ranger,
You don't argue with me. You merely disagree with me. For us to argue you would have to have a point.
