don't pressure wash stickers, rubber CV boots, radiator, speedometer or winch switch. If you are using a garden hose you can hit anything you like.

 

Don't pressure wash the chain. You can blow out the O-rings.

 

i took off my plastic and squirtted my struts, engine,and transmission with acid. then i hit it with a wire wheel. alot better than soap and water.

 

You used acid? What type of acid? I would think it would have stripped some shiznit!

 

i think badazz400 was making a joke..........i hope! LOL

 

muratic acid is used to clean metals, it strips all the corrosion off. typically before soldering a leaky radiator you clean it with muratic acid. dunno if I 'd use it on a quad though lol.

 

I pre soak mine with Big Job degreaser then hit it with the preasure washer and hand wash everything. After it's dry I spray the whole underside, frame, joints,linkage, electrical connections and switches,Aarms axels and boots with WD40 and everything up top, plastic seat, boxes, tires gets Tire foamed...........

 

I hose it down really good...........then spray the all the black and everything under the bike with spray 9.

I let that soak, then i hose it down really good again.

after that I hand wash with soapy water, and hose it down again.

I then to a quick dry of all the black plastic parts, and the rest of the bike.

After that I spray the whole bike with Tire foam, and some times I give the

complete bike a quick wipe to make sure that everything got covered and looks
brand new!!

It works for me!!!

 

i forget what kind of acid it is. my cousin said "here use acid this and it will brightened up your alluminum". i know it doesnt help u much. but i think 2005bf750 has got the right idea. i just dabbed it on with a paint brush and rinse. waalaa!! shiny struts. then i hit it with a wire wheel and it got even shiner
