Rinse your ATV thoroughly with cool water to remove loose dirt.
Fill a bucket with cool water. Mix in a mild, neutral detergent, such as
dish washing liquid or a product made especially for washing
motorcycles or automobiles.
Wash your ATV with a sponge or soft towel. As you wash, check for
heavy grime. If necessary, use a mild cleaner/degreaser to remove the
grime.
After washing, rinse your ATV thoroughly with plenty of clean water
to remove any residue. Detergent residue can corrode alloy parts.
Dry your ATV with a chamois or a soft towel. Leaving water on the
surface to air dry can cause dulling and water spots. As you dry,
inspect for chips and scratches.
Start the engine and let it idle for several minutes. The engine heat
will help dry moist areas.
As a precaution, ride your ATV at a slow speed and apply the brakes
several times. This will help dry the brakes and restore normal
braking performance.
