Default Waxing Polaris'

If I want to wax the atv's and the RZR, is there a certain type or manufacturer out there that I need to get or stay away from.

Thanks,

I would have never believed this but....

I used the Pledge furniture stuff Polaris recommends on mine. MAN I COULDN"T BELIEVE IT!! Cleaned it up great, not oily and smells like a big red lemon!! Even cleans the mud off your tires.

It's suppose to work like a wax and not allow mud to stick. worked great for me.

Turtle Wax ICE - started using it on my sportbike a year or so ago. Works great and doesn't leave that white wax buildup if you accidently get it on the black textured plastic.

+1 armoral wipes. I use armoral wipes and it makes them shine like a new penny. Wax might be better for protecting agaisnt scratches though?

+2 on the Turtle Wax ICE. Can use it on every part of the machine and every texture of plastic without worrying about the white build up. Just put a coat on the Sportsman...top to bottom. Great product.

For over-the-counter stuff, Mothers FX Synwax or Meguiars NXT 2.0 would be good choices. Both have some light cleaning abilities (without abrasives) and add some decent protection... and look quite nice. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I have some boutique detailing products that I use.
