We have one of these on the Jeep board that i belong to as well. So i thought i would start one on here. I know some of us do something to our ATV's daily. Whether it be routine maintenance or something major. So lets see what you did to your TOY today!

Is your finish matte because it's camo or the solid matte color like they are putting on cars now? I don't wax Camo because of the finish. I use that SC1 motorcycle polish stuff instead. It's pretty cool how they put the camo on at the factory in Lincoln. There is an outfit in Beaver-Utah Hydrographics-that does the same for gun stocks.

Camo yea I use tire shine on it every now and then and it works great.

Wax??!?? On a quad?!!!?? Ok. I'll pass on that one! Hit it with the garden hose and put her away. Gonna get filthy again 5 minutes after you ride it!
On my motorcycle-----yup. On my quad----NEVER!!!!!!

Yeah I know I'm weird, but you won't get a gloss like this without the paste wax. (I do apologize for the dust on the tires....will try to do better)

Besides, never know when Pebble Beach might have a wheeler show, and gotta be prepared to roll out there on a moment's notice....enclosed trailer of course.

If I want mine to look GREAT I just stand further back when I take the picture.

Ghost, it looks great without all those gaudy stickers.

the mudlites work much better than stock tires. It was fun, still want paddles for it too. I just don’t get over there much since it’s 3.5 hours away

Installed a new front sleeve, rings, piston, oil, filter, coolant, and took it for a hard break-in run. Start to finish from machine shop to the trail was two days and two nights.

Going out for a normal trail ride tomorrow.
