Appearance Care
Refer to Safety Precautions on page 76.
After washing your ATV, consider using a commercially available
spray cleaner/polish or quality liquid or paste wax to finish the job.
Use only a non-abrasive polish or wax made specifically for
motorcycles or automobiles. Apply the polish or wax according to
the instructions on the container.
If a surface on your ATV is chipped or scratched, your dealer has
touch-up paint to match your ATV’s color. Be sure to use your ATV’s
color code (page 175) when you buy touch-up paint.
If the frame has a chip that exposes the metal, first apply primer (to
prevent corrosion) and then apply the touch-up paint. Several thin
layers of touch-up paint are better than one thick coat.
Refer to Safety Precautions on page 76.
Aluminum may corrode from contact with dirt, mud, or road salt.
Clean the wheels after riding through any of these substances. Use
a wet sponge and mild detergent. Avoid stiff brushes, steel wool, or
cleaners containing abrasives or chemical compounds.
After washing, rinse with plenty of water and dry with a clean cloth.
Then apply a mild, commercially available spray cleaner/polish or
wax.
For stained or dull-looking wheels, use a quality chrome/aluminum
polish to restore the finish.
