Cleaning Your ATV

If you take your ATV off-roading often, it's likely you've noticed just how dirty your vehicle can end up after taking it out onto the trails. Keeping your ATV clean can help you maintain your vehicle longer and stop debris from getting into the engine or exhaust.

Pre-Soaking And Scraping Mud From An ATV

First, you'll want to choose a spot to wash your ATV so that you don't end up making too much of a mess. We suggest cleaning your quad in a driveway, if possible. If you are dealing with mud, you'll likely need to scrape the more stuck on pieces by hand before soaking the entire four-wheeler in water. If you have a plastic mud scraper, that is typically the best way to avoid any damage to your ATV’s paint. 

Pressure Washing Your ATV 

If you encounter debris that is even more firmly stuck on your ATV, we suggest pulling out a pressure washer after the initial soaking process. If you don't have access to a pressure washer, a hose can have a similar effect. 

Drying Your ATV 

Letting your ATV air dry is a great way to avoid scratching the paint, but if you can't wait, we suggest drying it off with a lint-free towel. 

Keeping your ATV clean is a major part of maintenance and upkeep. You'll be able to enjoy your quad for longer if you take the time to keep it clean. On the market for your next ATV?
