1. Gather Supplies

The first step in cleaning your PWC is taking a moment to gather all the right supplies! If it’s your first time deep cleaning your vehicle, you might want to refer to the owner’s manual for resources regarding the proper products and cleaning processes.

Some items you need will include a cleaning solution, water, sponges, a bucket, and cleaning cloths.

2. Rinse First

Once you have all of your supplies on hand, it’s time to get to business! You’ll want to start by rinsing your PWC with fresh water. This helps loosen any built-up grime and gives you a moment to inspect the state of your vehicle. You can look for signs of wear and identify problem areas that will need close attention.

3. Scrubbing

When you apply the cleaning solution and begin to scrub your PWC, you’ll want to work in small sections and rinse away the product as you go to avoid any residue. Footwells will likely be a problem area that will need more attention.

Make sure to also hit the seats and do an all-over wipe down to remove grime and sanitize frequently used areas.

4. Wax

After you’ve scrubbed and done your final rinse, you’ll allow the PWC to dry and then apply a coat of wax. Finishing the cleaning process with wax will allow you to go longer between deep cleans and protect your PWC from grime and sun damage.
