Cleaning Steps
When it’s time to clean your UTV, it’s best to follow a checklist. This way you’ll avoid missing any important steps! Remember to check your model’s owner manual for specific information regarding materials, cleaning products, and processes.
- Start by hosing down the exterior of your UTV with a garden hose to remove dirt and debris. Be sure to rinse off any mud that may have accumulated on the vehicle’s undercarriage and wheels.
- Using a mild detergent, wash the body of the UTV in sections using a soft cloth or sponge, rinsing each section after washing it. Make sure you pay particular attention to areas such as door handles, mirrors, and lights where dirt or grime can collect easily.
- Rinse all surfaces thoroughly once you're done cleaning them with soap and water so no residue is left behind, then dry your UTV using a chamois or microfiber cloth.
- After washing your UTV, it's important to protect the finish by applying a layer of wax or protective spray with a clean rag or applicator. This will help prevent dirt and grime accumulation in the future.
- Finally, be sure to check all fluids such as oil, coolant, and brake fluid regularly to make sure they’re at the right levels and don’t need changing. This will help keep your UTV running smoothly and efficiently for years to come! It’s easy to check fluids and other components at the end of your cleaning process.
