    SIMPLE GREEN!! its great stuff. just spray it on wipe it down while its still wet and rinse. only thing is you must reoil the chain as this will remove oil and grease. I use a scrub brush on most of mine

    As long as you don't have stickers everywhere, power washing works good I think, just give all the places with no stickers a good washing, then where there is a sticker go over it really fast, and it doesn't take any of the stickers off.

    WESTLEYS BLEACH WHITE is by far the best cleaner iver ever used, spray it on a rinsed motor let it sit and hose it off but to get it real good just hit everything with a brush after spraying it on......i even have old tooth brushes i use......only thing is it may leave a white residue when its dry so i use soap and water real quick at the the end and it wont happen AND or spray everything but the seat and grips in wd 40.........this is my old 04 trx i just sold after 3 XC race seasons

    race wash

    I like to start with quad standing up on grab bar, spray with garden hose to soak quad with cold water from hose then to hot water in bucket with wifes dish soap careful not to do any scratching to plastics, heavier on dish soap and hot water around oil areas like swingarm. then another cold water rinse bottom to top good dry with soft towel and really good plastic protectant dunno if I can tell brand but its in local auto stores, the last protectant I used wiped out alot of little scratches I would recomend it to all quad riders.

    i start with using dish soap or a car soup with de-greaser and make sure its very foamy then i use a micro fiber bonnet and take my time piece by piece, takes a long time but its worth it
