Default Washing atv for 2 hours...

I just spent 2 hours washing my grizz,and two more hours washing my honda, and my two suzukis. It gets old washing it with the garden hose.
Are those electric pressure washers at walmart any good for washing quads?

no they arent anygood for washing quads,they peel the stickers off,ruin the o-rings on chains,could also ruin gaskets and seals..if you do get one,get the lower pressure ones and you might be ok..

Well I mean im not gonna point it straight at the engine or anything, I know how much damage those things can cause. I was just wondering if the electric ones are even worth buying over using a water hose, the electric ones are only 100$ so i might as well give it a try.

they are basicly disposable. Treat it with loving care, and it may last a little while. You get what you pay for.

They are great for removing stickers. I removed all of mine after my 1st ride. (I hate stickers)

I ALWAYS keep mine on the widest fan spray. Still going to take some elbow grease.
