just bundle and take it to the car wash... just make sure the car wash attendant isn't around, the ones around here tend to get a bit pissy when you leave a mess.

Hi, I am glad to say I don't have that problem here, the cold that is. When I clean the quads and Rhino I take a garden sprayer and mix up Simple Green and water. Then I spray everything with it. Let is sit for just a few minutes then hose it off. Then I can hit is with a rag and soap and it comes out great.

Be careful using any high pressure hose around the brake lines. They're easily puntured by high pressure water. You might want to check your owner's manual. I know, nobody reads them but they do have a few good points.

Think of all of your seals. They are designed to seal at atmospheric pressure, not 1200PSI of water blasting them.

down here it so warm i wash my quad with a pressurewasher after every ride.

but i always let the engine get warm before i spray my quad with it. i read somewhere its better than spraying when the engine is dead cold.

but my brakelines have been okay, and never had any problems with the pressure washer screwing up our quads.

[clarkgriswold]

The main thing is the pressure on the seals, lines, etc. It's not a 'heat' issue....it's a pressure issue.

i realize that, i just read that off of quad magazine a long time ago. ive never had problems before or after i started warming the engine before pressurewashing.

thanks for the info and i just go over it quickly wen i do use the powerwasher but that is a good point and thing to watch out for

I ride it through the creek.

I like your way the best and it sounds fun. I never see any creeks here in the desert. I hope someday to be able to ride other places other than here.

a local car wash here is owned buy a guy that rides with us so we go there and get a deal on the wash ...lol.. we use the hot water then go to the cyclone blow dryer and blow the water off b4 it freezes ... we usually spend 3 to 4 buks with the owners freebies ... and thats washing/drying 2 quads for that cost...

I goto a car wash, and then go home and do the finishing touchs.
