What do you use to clean your ATV?

I finally decided to pick up a pressure washer a couple of years ago, a little electric Ryobi 1800psi (test reviews show it actually closer to 2000)... no regrets. It does a phenomenal job with the big stuff, though you do have to be careful depending on what power unit you have -- I've lost a couple of decals to mine!

I use a pressure washer I bought from Amazon, and a 1 gallon container of car wash from Auto Zone. 

If your looking to put a shine on your plastics try using Quick Shine by Holloway House (sold at Dollar General). I’ve tried a few different products on my plastics but the Quick Shine has to be the brightest and longest lasting shine I have found yet. Makes the plastics look like new.

Purple power to degrease the oily crap on my engine. Power washer to blast it off

I use bleach in a spray bottle from the dollar store to get oil and grime off! cafeful not to get it on any rubber or plastic because i read it has the same drying out effect as intense sunlight

Pressure washer and sometimes cheap snow foam.

i never tried a pressure washer because our shop doesn't have a inside or outside water tap on the outside shop wall... even though we do have a pressure washer//

How well does the pressure washer work on getting oil and grime off?? My dad says the pressure washer could water blast out the Chain Lubrication fluid and (expletive removed) up the motorcycle chain///

 

i know that when i use bleach $3 dollar store 'Mildew and rime remover" it turns the oil and grime into a smeary smudge i wipe away with higher quality microfiber clothes(these microfibre cloth rags just work way better)

i put the scrub free '$3 Dollarama dollar store solution' in the other Dollarama $3 sprayer bottle because it is was way better for spraying bleach (do not get on any rubber or plastic i read it will weaken it and make it brittle

(i spray the bleach on the oil and grime carefully and aim it real careful and then i use a giant flat head screwdriver and a medium flat head screw driver /one in each hand i attack and poke and scrape on the bundled up microfibre cloth on the grime to smear and wipe away the grime oil smudge (these clothes work very good at absorbing and hanging onto all the smudge

I use a foam cannon on my pressure washer and soap called Tuff Mudder 

they say it leaves a coating that keeps the mud from sticking 

however I will be trying the purple stuff on the engine

It seems to work good 

I use it on my 4Runner and the mud sprays off easily

Pressure washer with some simple green... SC1 spray when dry.

I swear by kerosene. Probably use it more than I should but damn does it do the trick.

I use the prewash at the car wash and then pressure wash it off.  So far so good.

I like a pressure washer.  Get in all the nooks and crannies
