Appearance Care
Frequent cleaning and polishing will keep your Honda looking newer
longer.
Frequent cleaning also identifies you as an owner who values his
ATV.
A clean ATV is also easier to inspect and service.
Refer to Safety Precautions on page 101.
• To clean your ATV, you may use:
– water
– Hondabrite
– a mild, neutral detergent and water
– a mild spray and wipe cleaner/polisher
– a mild spray and rinse cleaner/degreaser and water
• Avoid products that contain harsh detergents or chemical
solvents that could damage the metal, paint, plastic, and
camouflage coating on your ATV (Honda MUV).
• If your ATV is still warm from recent operation, give the engine
and exhaust system time to cool off.
• Park in a shady area. Washing your ATV in bright sunlight may
cause the finish to fade because water droplets intensify the sun’s
brightness.
• Spotting is also more likely because surface water can dry before
you have time to wipe it off.
• Clean your ATV regularly to protect surface finishes.
• We recommend the use of a low pressure garden hose to wash
your ATV. High pressure washers (like those at coin-operated car
washers) can damage certain parts of your ATV.
