How do you all (the ones that make there quad look so nice it brings tears to your eyes) *cough* chris *cough* waters *cough*.....make your quad look so nice, seems a like a dumb question, but seriously, do you get in there with a quew sp? tip, or just never ride? either way, along with responding, post a pic of your god dang quads



Posted by: nacsracer27

well you either start when you first get it and wash after every ride, cuz then the dirt should come right off, or if you bought it used, and it seems like it permantly dirty, take the whole quad apart, clean everything u can think of til it looks brand new, then when it gets all together, its nice and clean, but still could use some work, spray wd40 on teh plastic(makes it easier to clean next time and makes it shine)polish the aluminum parts, polish the rims, and jus make sure everything is clean after every ride

MONEY - WASH



Posted by: racerx573

I wash mine after each moto at the races, and after practice, then I wash it again when I get home, then detail and polish the day after the race...



Posted by: nacsracer27

Posted by: phatswinn

You think I would have dog $hit on my baby??? I think not. Leaves my friend, leaves. That's a set of Riken's that were really worn, and some wires were poking through. The wires grabbed on to everything they could.

Posted by: 2k2-300exnj

Well i do ride them.......however i do not abuse them. I got that outta my system when i was a kid on my 250ES Big Red.

I use a hot water pressure washer with soap injection to clean them,,,then dry them and lube them,,,,,and store them inside under sheets I will get updated pics here for ya........and thanks for liking the quads......makes all the work more fun



Posted by: CBW

OK ,,,,,,,,but when the $$$$$ gets high on each machine i tend to prefer to take care of them my way........each to their own


Anyhow i realize i am late responding to this thread............but i just saw it today.



Posted by: 300EXrider02

i dont whether i would like to take the clothes of a very pretty lady with my teeth or take the sheets off of chris's quads and r's with my teeth....

Posted by: LRD_27

my 400



Posted by: nacsracer27

hey, are your rear tires bald, cuz they look like it



Posted by: NTPRacing#19

i dunno if i showed a pic of mine yet, if i have sorry.



Posted by: nacsracer27

even if ya did show the pic already, its still sweet, i love looking at ex's all day specialy when they are bling



Posted by: MX26

I swear that 400 looks sooo familiar!

PLEASE take that hugeass power mist sticker off!!



Posted by: Chanman420q

IF you just clean them from the start it wont be nearly as bad to keep clean. My old blaster came filthy. I spend 1 month cleaning EVERYTHING with greased lighting and a tooth brush.



Posted by: NTPRacing#19

why you dont like power mist? well actually i am gonna take that sticker off. i run powermist and its some really good stuff.

thats my dads license plate he has had that license plate on all his trucks and camaros since he was 17. the truck is a 1999 Chevy exnted cab silverado, he also has a 69 Camaro SS with a 350, 4 on the floor, daytona yellow with black vinyal top and black hockey stripes on the side. thats the real 2BAD! :devil

In my area wher i live everyone knows that license plate and its...well... i guess you could say my dads old reputation with cars haha



Posted by: Porkchop

what should i use on my engine? ive used gunk, simple green, and some others and nothing makes it look really shinny... i think someones said to use oven cleaner on it somewhere? i think old#7 said that.. does it work?



Posted by: NTPRacing#19

use brake cleaner man. works so good to remove grease and oil!



Posted by: Chef

If this makes anyone feel better, this is what the motor out of my R looks like up close.



Posted by: Chanman420q

thats how my old blasters engine looked like. I took the motor out, Scrubbed it with a tooth brush for an entire weekend, and then Cleaned the frame, and everything else. Looked like a million bucks when i got done



Posted by: phatswinn

yea ur motor looked like that till ya got the new 425 pri top end, im will to bet that packs a punch, or 2, or 54098639 punches isnt it supposed to put out 50hp on the 310?
