Yeah, I guess you`re right and I`m just used to a different looking ATV. I guess more like the ATV`s you see on tv like from Polaris, etc. I give you credit for tackling that job!

sorry all this is so disjointed !:spy:having a hard time getting them to embed without being too big.

You would never know I dressed the tires the day before and looked great but the sealant grease that oozes out of the tires ruins it pretty quickly , noticable in the rear tire

front seats, the back seats have 3 childrens seats ...lucky kids

Me smiling and so glad to be done with the job :clap:

I think I finally got the hang of picture posting!

It must have been a beast to dry. I could see using a spray cleaner but there are so many nooks and crannies that you would need a blower to dry it. When I read ATV, this is not what I imagined.

As for posting pics, you have to resize images to around 800 pixels wide to show properly (not too big on the typical display). Some forums will resize it automatically and some web hosts will also resize it for you.

Thanks Al......I will see about resizing them as there are a couple more pics.

I wish i had known I was going to take pics so you could appreciate the befores and afters :tongue:

Pretty much my mind was on overload not knowing where to start and how to approach cleaning it and I had to do it right there in front of the busy shop with people stoppping and talking to me all day .So it was a tuff job but maybe second time around wouldnt be so bad .

Now that Ive had a few days to step back from it it doesnt seem so bad and would consider doing it again and would like to finish up some areas that needed more attention.

I think I may change the thread title to dune buggy . ATV is prob more of a vehicle you would take in the woods or mountains?

I dont know , im more of a beach person

Yes, an ATV is what we use here in the hills of Tennessee :-B

I think what you were detailing was a Sandrail maybe :-? There super fun too <:-P I would definately give it another go. Just like with anything, it gets easier each time Da Rules!

To clean tires and wheels we use coconut soap and a good brush can get excellent results, besides cleaning restores color, shine and highlights the action has degreaser. Has anyone tried it?
