Default Finally Clean

Well with the help of my 3 year old, I finally got around to cleaning up the rig. It was way past due for a good cleaning. Sprayed it down to get rid of the larger stuff and soaked it with Simple Green concentrated cleaner. Used a soft wheel brush and scrubbed everything. Dried off with a shop towel, and coated it with Spray and Shine Armor-All. Let most of it drip off and went over it with a clean cloth. Looks like brand new money. Heck it's cleaner than it was when I bought it I think. Attached are pics of the "Clean" rig and a dirty kid.

My wife doesn't get why I spend 3 hours cleaning and polishing my wheeler after I come back from riding. Then when I go again it only takes me about 3 minutes to find the biggest mud hole I can and get it all covered in mud again.

1. It's like a race car, it has to look good when you get there.
2 Mud is FUN!!!

It is amazing how a good they can look after a major cleaning. I know when I do the "full" wash on mine it makes me feel like the machine is almost new. Looks great...
