Best tip #1: Pledge furniture polish. After washing off the mud, spray plastic body, bumpers(especially the flat black brushed finished bumpers) frame, suspension, gauges, headlights, racks, etc. Shines up everthing good as new and won't scratch plastic!

How long have you been using Pledge to clean your bike? Just wondering if it's been long enough to see if damage will occur?

We use purple power and a power washer and then pledge or tire wet. I personally like the tire wet on my plastics cause the mud come off easier when you need to wash it. But then again all I do is detail mine. Neednmud does the washing.

Harley Hog riders have been using furniture polish for years on their bikes. Proven winner and performer.Polishes without scratches, without wax buildup, displaces moisture, prevents corrosion, and best of all, cheap!

lol... lemon pledge is great... gone through a few cans of that myself.

Lately I just wash em, let em dry, and hose em down with armor all... and let em sit there and soak it up.

It's expensive, but much easier to wash em after a ride cause stuff doesn't stick to em as easy.

And steel wool does wonders on chrome rims.... but DON'T use it on aluminum wheels or painted ones.

ScotchBrite makes a new scrub pad specially designed for the flat-glass top type stoves... it's blue and it won't scratch stuff up. These work GREAT on aluminum wheels and stubborn stains that accumulate on the motor and drivetrain components.

Ride Safe,

Chuck

I've heard of Copenhagen spit used for healing wounds, but haven't heard of cleaning the ATV with it
