    How do you wash you ATV?

    I was wondering how you all wash your atvs. A garden hoses and a bucket just doesn't work well for me. I have tried to use a pressure washer, but they always take my stickers off.

    First a ligh high pressure washer then a full garden hose hand wash.
    Nothing worth a hand wash !

    Yeah i used to do that but the armor all makes dirt stick so my quad was red before i went riding and come back with a brown dirt *** quad that takes forever to wash lol. But i just park it under the porch and spray with a bottle full of water and wipe down the parts one by one

    on my white plasics i use magice eraser and on the tough spots i use an sos, it dont take the shine out like you would think almost none abrasive to plastic, or it could just be the white cause when its white white it looks clean no matter how deep the scratches,

    yeah my ltr has been thru hell and back and after cleaned up from 5 feet away plastics still looks new, mr clean magic erasers are good and non abrasive, but the sos pad really do wonders and cuts cleaning time in half but i wouldnt suggest an sos pad on nothing but white, altho they dont even scratch the grahics so it may not be that bad on colored plastic, but yeah dark colors are the worst to show scratches
