Anyone try spraying the engine/underside with W-D as a release agent for mud-dirt-saltwater(as in beach sand) ? A duner at work says it helps but I don't know if I should try it. Some drawbacks I can think of are: attracting dust and dry sand,baking on to a non-removeable varnish......I have heard of Muddoff but never tried it.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

 

I have done the exact same thing and have had no problems from doing so. I spray our quads before we ride at Pismo and after the clean up at home. I haven't noticed any extra sand that doesn't fall off after it dries out or any type of bake-on type of damages.

There have been other threads on here that have discussed this exact subject. Do a search and you will find there are different ways of protecting your quads.

 

I'm a WD-40 user too.If its gona sit for a week or too after a bath it gets the WD-40 bath.

 

This may sound crazy but what about using WD40 on an airfilter after cleaning it. Would this not be a good Idea? I know K&N filters have what seems to be an oily formula on them when their new, not sure what it is. Would this be something you definetely would not want to do ?

 

Bad idea. K&N's oil is tacky so dirt will stick. It also wont evaporate.

WD-40 is Kerosene. It will evaporate and is not tacky.

 

Another thing you can use to keep the cleanup easy is a spray on cooking oil. Pam works good.

 

Thanks all for the input- guess I'll try it.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
