Hey guys and gals,
I took the Vinson out mudding today. Nasty crappin mud (Coal Dust Muck). I Was Wondering what the best soap is? Im also wondering what i can put on the plastic to make it easier to clean up (I Heard WD-40) Any Info?

Come On.

 

I use Orange Blast. It is a cleaner made by the people that make Grease Lighting. Wet down the bike then spray with orange blast, let sit for only a couple min and then power wash off. Should be squeaky clean after that. Mine usually is! You can also use Pam before riding! The nonstick cooking oil. I used it last weekend at a race and it helped the red clay from caking up on my fenders! Hope this helps!

 

Simple Green!!!!!!!

 

Thanks Guys, I Dont Like Powerwashing But I Will Try This. Thanks!


What Kind Of Simple Green? Automotive? Or All Purpose?

 

Simple Green is best in my opinion. Hose of the big stuff. Spray it down with SG and hose of after 3~4 min. Don't let it dry or you will have to start over. I use some car wash stuff from Costco after wards for the fine stuff.
S-100 works a little better but is too pricey IMO.
I only use the pressure washer for extreem cleaning. I has the power to get water in places not recomended.
I use STP son of a gun, it's not as grease as Armor all and helps keep the mud from staining the plastic.
The #1 thing to do is clean it NOW not next week. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

I Took The Hose To It Today, Wasnt Really That All Muddy. Im Gonna Get Some Simple Green And Some "Son Of A Gun". Does The "Son Of A Gun" Give It A Nice Shine?

 

I wouldn't put wd-40 on mine. I use Castrol Super Clean to clean it up and sometimes use Turtle Wax spray to shine it up, plus it makes it easier to clean next time you go muddin. The Super Clean can be used to clean almost anything. Trust me, it really works well.

 

Yep. The STP (regular yellow bottle) works well. Use it on a rag for light shine or spray it down, let it soak, then wipe off for big shine. Don't do the seat. If you get some on the seat, windex will get rid of the slickness.

Note...Super Clean works well but keep it off clear plastic and clear coated painted parts. It will frost/fog these items. Seems to have some alkiline (sp?) in it.

 

simple green is the bomb! I use it on my white Z250 and believe me it is pretty hard to get spotless but that crap works great with the power washer i have got.
