It can be a real pain geting it off. Ive tried coating things with wd 40, before riding, like someone suggested, but that doesnt work.It does keep the dust from rusting, though. Are you just using a sponge and water, or have you tried a brush too? The mechanical action of brushing seems to get more, but the stuff still stains everything.
I still have stained plastic from 2 years ago, from riding in gilbert,mn. It really sucks on a yellow quad.

Gwinn, be careful with CLR, it may discolour plastic. A deoxidizing wax may help.

Default Get the red out.

[QUOTE=gwinnridder;1521933]any one got any tips on how to get iron ore of my fenders? We live in the heart of the Mn Iron Range. I have been told mud slinger by Amsoil and Simple Green work well. However I haven't tried them. We buy machines in darker colors that we feel hide the iron best.. My son uses Mudslinger and it seems to do the trick..Not sure if he prewashed his machines first.
