They don't ride them.

 

Borrow a friends or buy a Honda.

 

haha, good one, but i dont see how a honda makes a difference when it comes to cleanliness, I usually just put my quad on my flatbed truck and haul it to town, then power wash it in the car wash, works great, and doesn take for ever! well that is how i do it, bye

Ranger, he said his dirt was RED. Now do you get it. Ha! Ha!

 

Don't powerwash a quad unless you want to replace seals & such.
Waxing you quads plastic (bottom of the fenders too) will help the mud fall off when you "lightly" spray it with a garden hose. Sometimes I put some Simple green in the bucket of water I'm using.

You have a polaris though, so umm, YOU are the one that replaces seals, i dont think if you powerwash it will hurt it, trust me i havent replaced a seal on any of my quads. It is not like you are going to put the end of the wand 2 inches away from the surface you duecsh. bye

Andrew,I hear folks tell you not to power wash quads either.Well I've been power washing them alot since 1984 and have NEVER had to replace any seals.I absolutly REFUSE to put any of my machines up dirty.After I power wash them,I spray them down with a type of lubricant called ''DO ALL''.It is just like Armour All but much stronger and last longer.Good Day====BILL

thanks bill

Yeah I see people at the car wash spray under their hood too. To each their own I guess. That water just seems way to powerful to me. Besides If you want it real clean you gotta work at it anyway. Where do you buy this DO-ALL stuff? It just sprays on?
