    pressure washer is about the eaisiest way on a real muddy frame after that the W-D 40 would prob work or an armoral type of cleaner.

    Ive always been amazed at how well this cleanup works for everything. Give it a rinse to get the heavy stuff off. Then get a pesticide pump and keep a mix of "Simple Green Automotive" and water and fill it up. Spray that on everything, sometimes I stand mine up. Let it sit about 5 min and then rinse. Youll be surprised how well that stuff pulls the crap off the frame without a sponge or brush.

    yeah i get it he wants to know if there is something he can put on the fenders etc. before it gets muddy to make stopping by the carwash after ridding to just blast it off easy like... acctually i keep a can of the armourall whipes in the truck it does help but the frame and nerf bars can collect some big clumps that just have to be hosed for a bit. i have heard of the WD40 but not sure what that will do to plastics after extended use.

    For plastics - WD-40. The mud sort of "burns" onto the cooling fins making it difficult to remove. I've heard of people using WD-40 on the engine and have heard positive results if you don't run it tit hot.

    Be careful pressure washing your quad, the high pressure of the water could get into places you dont want it, it is very risky....
