Default Is anybody else a clean freak?

I swear this Teryx hides mud everywhere, I spent 2-3 hours washin it.

Does anybody have some suggestions to cut down the amount of mud build up, I heard a coat of Pam does wonders.

Also are those Kawasaki plastics underneath the swing arms necessary? They carry a lot of mud, or do they protect the swing arm from getting a bunch of scratches and corroding like my sport quad.

Anyways, let me know!

Depending where you ride, you want to protect your underneath wires/lines and CV boots.

A good coat of wd40 or armour all works well to keep the mud from sticking.

Agree with Brian, copious amounts of Armour All or use the spray on car detailer (Mothers/Meguiar's) before you go mudding to keep it from sticking on the plastics. Then as soon as your done get to a car/pressure washer and spray it off before it cakes on. 1300-2000 psi washer work great for this.

Once you get the T clean, try spraying underneath with "Tire Wet" or a similar product
