i have an elec. pr.washer thats 1200 psi that has adjustable nozzle from fan to pin point on the pressure. use it on the fan , just like a car wash. jst dont clean your greased areas real hard as it will take the grease off and spread it everywhere on the wheeler

 

Thanks man!


Question though, would it be better just to pay the 6$ every soo often to get my quad clean or just buy a decent 60$ pressure washer on ebay?


Any good brands and stuff?

 

You're getting some great tips. Also, if you have an open K&N filter....don't be blastin' it. Common sense. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Yea man i know im soo happy i posted this thread, cuz i thought i was gonna get flammed for asking how to wash a quad good lol...



I was just wondering the pros over a pressure washer and the pros of a garden house and some rags?


I know a pressure washer is a lot easier and its a good investment..

 

Another advantage to a pressure washer is your actually dumping alot less water on your quad... most small electric washers only flow around 2gpm or less... where your garden hose might be dumping 9 or more "gallons per minute"

 

i use just-add-dirt atv/bike cleaner . spray it down with cleaner and then hose it off . follow up with some mop n glo on the plastics .

 

Last time out, I used 4 tanks of gas in my pres. washer. It was pretty muddy, LOL A pressure washer is worth it to me. But somettimes a low pressure flow works to prevent blowing mud all over the areas you just cleaned. I have never used anything but a pres. washer. But, like I said, 4 tanks of gas, but it is extremely clean though! WD-40 is a good preride coater, helps the clean-up process. And, no I didn't use it last time out, forgot to![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]

 

I've never used anything but a garden hose. That and a bucket of dish soap.

I use WD-40 to spray the aluminum cases and such so they don't corrode.
And I use Honda Spray Cleaner and Polish on all the plastic.
