Default What to use to clean your Sportsman

I was wondering what everyone else uses and recommends to use to clean your Sportsman ATV? I usually just take a pressure washer and maybe some soap, but that's it. What can I use to get that "showroom" shine back to it?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

Yes. or to get the scratches out? Mine is brand new, black and gray, but already, because of the additional seat and foot pegs, the black fenders are badly scuffed?? Any suggestions?

After the wash down is done and my machine dries off to reveal those dull and scratched up spots,I spray my entire sportsman with rainshower pledge.Instant new bike look again,the longer you leave it on the better your machine will look.This was recommended to me by the place I get my bike serviced and it work's great but DO NOT use endust or other similar stuff, Pledge is #1.Also your next cleanup will be alot easier.Just my 2 cents worth--------02 500HO X SPORTSMAN-many mods.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I used Greased Lightning to clean the nasty stuff off. It worked OK. Modquad recommended Simple Green. I bought a bottle of it but havent used it yet. To get the shine, I like to use STP's Son-Of-A-Gun. It really makes the plastic shine without attracting a lot of dust or leaving a nasty residue. I think that it also has a UV protectant in it.
