it has permadirt evreywhere.......

Good word.

When my XP was new I prepped all the black plastic with a quality plastic protector. Who really knows for sure right? I thought no way can permadirt stick. I have a good fighting start.

wrong! I just spent (3) days on and off cleaning all this stuff and starting over. My rebuild will take a while and just want the black plastic nice even if its in a pile.

 

stronger cleaner, purple power
pressure washer
and some elbow grease

after clean, spray things with wd40, helps out next time

 

Holy crap! I didnt break it down that much, but I think that is the only way to really get it clean again.

 

no sir I'm not that nuts. Mine is wrecked and getting a new frame.

I am worried that when it gets back together some will still be there. ever done that? like with a mower?

 

Only way to get it "fully" clean is to remove the side plastics that stretch from wheel to wheel (not the hood and bed, although it makes life easier but more time consuming) and the skid plate. Dirt sticks in the frame rails, where plastic meets the frame, etc. I'd remove the interior tub, too, but I think I would be full-on OCD then.

 

A good pressure washer (be especially careful around the decals), lots of elbow grease and time, and a bunch of Meguiars products. Looks like new.

 

just wait a certaint member will see this....(billnavic)..lol and mr clean will tell you how to do it...i do think he has a thred on cleaning if you see how muddy he gets his and then looking brand new its crazy

 

I've seen bilinvic's Grizzly photos before and after.... Yes,he definitely does a good job cleaning his.

I try,but, I always have "permamud"

 

I use Pledge furniture polish after every wash and it helps keep the plastic looking new and also helps prevent mud from staining the plastic, my .02.

 

+1 on Billnvic's cleaning methods. He is the man when it comes to a brand new looking machine. The first pics I saw of his I figured he didn't ride much but then I saw his video's, his ride is completely covered in mud every time. Amazing.

 

ill look up his postings.

 

furniture polish works wonders!

 

I use just a hose and soap, (no pressure washer) it takes a while. I have the painted plastic and I use the spray on wax after the wash

 

I don't even bother trying to keep mine clean. I figure it's an off road vehicle so it might as well look like one! But I will spray it down a little when it's really muddy and I can't see out the windshield anymore.

 

I use Mean Green cleaner on every thing, just soak it down let set (but not dry) pressure wash off. I may have to do this a couple of times,then wash it with a good rag and let it dry. Then I use 1 can of WD40 on the under side of the fenders and 2 cans of pledge on the top side of the fenders, I don't wipe it off untill ready to ride next. This works for me. I don't think mine compares to Billnvics tho.

 

It is kind of like spitting into a strong wind trying to keep something clean when you know you are going to get it dirty again. I use a preassure washer, some good cleaner and polish don't waste a lot of time because I know I am going to get it dirty again. They only look good for a small amount of time on or in the trailer then you get em dirty that is what they are made for.

 

just like the manual says,
soapy water,
no presure washer,
and good ole pledge furniture polish,

 

My main concern for cleaning period is maintanence and add-ons, otherwise I really could care less.

 

It takes just as long to clean the machine as the ride was - never less than an hour to clean.

I spray silicone tire shine all over the underside - seems to work well for me .

And I use Honda polish in a rattle can that is believable on the top surfaces. Sorry but the stuff good !

 

I guess my anal retentive "Mr. Clean" reputation is what I am known for now!!!!!!

This photo was taken last month, and my machine is now 2 years old. You should've seen my RZR after this ride....It was a freakin' mess. But, now, it looks the same again, pretty much brand new.

Here's a link to my "cleaning thread" :

I admire Bill's patience! Way to take care of your machine!

 

Insane Bil.... ty for the linky.

 

Off the subject; but, where can i see rest of the video on the

i just sell it when it get too dirty !
why wash it anyways ? it only goin to get dirty tomorrow anyways O I FORGOT you guys RIDE ONE DAY AND CLEAN FOR TWO HAHAHAHHA i just ride all three days
IE> when mud drys out its just dirt and it falls off
around here we call them clean ones SALLy

 

The best analogy I have heard for cleaning the rzr is "like trying to clean the butter from an english muffin"... The bottom of these things are all sorts of nooks and cranny's.

I like to keep mine "sally" but Billnvic's just looks completely new. Very cool.

 

ya mine wasnt that clean the day i got it !
