How do you all (the ones that make there quad look so nice it brings tears to your eyes) *cough* chris *cough* waters *cough*.....make your quad look so nice, seems a like a dumb question, but seriously, do you get in there with a quew sp? tip, or just never ride? either way, along with responding, post a pic of your god dang quads :rolleyes:

12-23-2002, 10:01 PM
well you either start when you first get it and wash after every ride, cuz then the dirt should come right off, or if you bought it used, and it seems like it permantly dirty, take the whole quad apart, clean everything u can think of til it looks brand new, then when it gets all together, its nice and clean, but still could use some work, spray wd40 on teh plastic(makes it easier to clean next time and makes it shine)polish the aluminum parts, polish the rims, and jus make sure everything is clean after every ride

You think I would have dog $hit on my baby??? I think not. Leaves my friend, leaves. That's a set of Riken's that were really worn, and some wires were poking through. The wires grabbed on to everything they could.
