i just got done and my hands are frozen... i was wearing gloves but they didn't work that well...how do u guys do it?
I gotta get that done soon. The best way I can think of without freezing you ba11s off would be to use a powerwasher with the soap mixer thing. Over by me thats not even possible becuase the water lines are probably frozen :huh

Either a Car Wash, or I'm lucky enough the guy we ride with owns a big shop and we can clean them in there. Heck the water is even warm. lol

I use a hose adapter and connect it to my kitchen sink. Mix the hot and cold to your liking. Most hardware stores carry them.

I go to a car wash where it is heated and the water is warm too.. and then it is always fun to spin around in the bays:D :blah
outside in my boxers and no shirt while its snowing, with freezing water, taken your time and gettin every spot clean, if u can do that, u kno your a champ

Yeah I would like not to have to clean it, but I want to ride, and can't leave it muddy.

I've got water-proof insulated gloves. They're like regular work gloves dipped in rubber.

one more thing.....go to wal mart around september october( after that forget it, they're sold out) and buy their neopreem gloves they're like 8 bucks. they'll keep your hands warm and dry.

wash it?? i rarely wash my quad unless my brother takes it to the car dealership he works at and gets paid to clean it. I ride it often enough that the mud doesnt have tme to dry :D I try to ride eveyr day, even if it id just for 15 to 20 minutes before work :devil I only wash it in the summer when the sand gets all over, and then i grease it. in the winter, the snow doesnt even melt off, i just make sure that no bare metal has water on it, if it does i just use a broo or dry cloth to wipe it dry
