I'm a auto detailer and the best thing for that plastic is 303 protectant because it has uv protectant in it it helps from fading and makes the plastics shine as good as new..

Muc off is better

Im highly impressed that the soap + degreaser did 75% of the work just soaking in. great video!

Maxima SC1 is the best finish spray by far, not cheap but worth every penny. And it smells amazing 🤩

[@tylermeek2800]

Just some personal tips for someone who runs a detailing business..use a blower even while it's running you want to get all residual moisture out from everywhere inside out finish with a spray on wipe off wax and Vitalizer for all rubber and plastic accents/tires it helps with future cleans when it comes to the mud sticking to the machine

[@tylermeek2800]

When it comes to drying the machine off that is. Using a blower for any detailing is a no go unless it's to remove standing moisture and prevent drips as well as assure a 100% moisture free standing. Usually I wouldn't take water directly to the console or your speakers but a light rinse off before you hand clean shouldn't hurt . And the more water you use with high pressure the odds of decals peeling away sooner. These gas powered cleaners are ment for machinery and equipment as well as paint stripping. You shouldn't need more than 2gpm and you def don't need pressure that will tear through sensitive materials..your equipment wash should loosen up all dirt mud etc that a nice light soft wash should do the trick and prevent any potential issues and increase longevity in your machines cosmetic appearance

[@ostacruiser]

Thabks dude. Haven't had a single issues using large gas pressure washer for over 18 years on them. Just have to know how to use them. Great tips though. Thanks

[@mandytuning]

I like to remove seats to wash all the interior and seats.for drying i use a leaf blower with engine running.super clean inthink is to caustic,i prefer to mix simple green with the laundry soap,and i also use slicon tire shine everywhee, the radiator use nu-calgon nu-brite,nice job.

[@danielreynoso8981]

When you use this mix, do you need to scrub, too? Or no scrubbing needed?

[@HOBrian2003]

Every time before I go I spray my four wheeler down with simple green. It dries in few minutes and when it’s time to wash it after a day of dirt, it comes right off! The simple green gets wet and just washes right off.

[@thomascornelius510]

I've only gotten my 950 that muddy a couple times. It's a great amount of work to get it back to looking nice again. I definitely try not to get into mud like that anymore. Lol. Thanks for sharing bro.

[@AdmWright]

That's the fun in riding! Mine looks nearly that bad every time I ride (just trails)

[@780Aleks-AB]

I like to run my sprinkler underneath my sxs for a good while I find all the clumps stuck in the deeper areas seem to wash out much easier.

[@nickunknown5111]

Wow you are a genius. Why have I not thought of that 😂

[@780Aleks-AB]

@@nickunknown5111 I cannot take credit. I seen my neighbour doing that with his work truck. So I stole the idea for my sxs hehe.

[@canamcartel9694]

Took 5 hours to get my machine completely clean after frcc. I was in that deep soupy mud for a long time and it got into every nook and cranny my muffler was even plugged full of it. Then i had to do it again the following weekend because i wen and raced in a clay mudpit lol.

[@minnesotaxmr]

Nice finishing shots Dave, I use the SC1 that you recommended a while back. A little pricey but Wow! makes the ride shine like new. "Ride Hard and Be Safe" MN Bill

[@ostacruiser]

Works incredible. Thanks

[@AB_thingsDFW]

I also use sc1. True it's a little pricey but if you buy a case of 8 or 12, almost goes down to $6 per can. (Amazon)

[@1gr8oil]

Great video! I use the AMSOIL brand "Mud Slinger". I put it on before I ride, and when I wash the machine, the dirt just falls off! After it dries, I spray it again and it makes the machine look new! About $10.50/per 12 oz can retail. I have never used a foam wand, but looks like I need one!

[@Darwindiggler]

Red shale or something around the shop would be a nice touch either way the place looks good! 🤘

[@TheBeagleBrigade]

Tire foam is where it's at. I by the cheap Simoniz on sale at Crappy Tire and get 2-3 washes out of it on my XMR1000. Looks like new and I find the water and mud on "light rides" bead off of it like you waxed it and it definitely makes it easier to clean the next time.

[@ostacruiser]

100% agree. It works better then any other brand I have tried

[@dafirnz]

The laundry soap works well because the mud is acidic and the soap is alkaline (base). Honestly, you should just spend the $100 to ceramic coat the whole thing and mud won't even stick to it.

Was wondering if you used anything like Creacoat ceramic coating to prevent dirt from sticking and keeping it clean?

[@ostacruiser]

I haven't tried those no

[@jeremybrauer317]

much better use of time would be to put a sprinkler on it for like 10 mins per side.. and then use something like the honeydew snow foam from chemical guys or mega foam from adams. i would then put a topper on the exterior plastics to help increase the slickness to reduce mud from sticking in the future.. turtle wax ice spray wax, hybrid solutions ceramic spray coating, or the their new graphene flex wax. Mequires hybrid ceramic or the last coat 2.0 would also work nicely. These coatings also will not attract dust, which laundry detergent is notoriously bad at.
