Cleaning your ATV...

[yamadooski]

ya birdman the depot is great as long as you try to get a job there ( sorry azz people  ) lowe's got better prices im out

Ya tell me about.
I have a lawn service and do 2 of the bigshots that work for them.
They live in gated community which the cheapest house is 900K.
They were the biggest wooters on the planet and I told them both to blow my hole.
I will never shop at the Home Crapper ever again.
Lowes is the way to go. Cleaner too.

I didn't realize Simple Green was a cleaner. I always thought of it as a foamy refreshing beverage to be enjoyed after a long ride in the hot florida sunshine.

I used Greased Lightening for the first time yesterday,,,,,WOW.

I just sprayed it on the engine parts and other stuff,,,,then sprayed off with water a minute later and I have never seen this thing so clean.

I had to clean it before ATP gets it again,,,,don't want them to think that I'm not cleaning this bad boy now.

I use simple green on everything except the plastic. I use PLEXUS ont the plastic and i like it alot. It conditions the plastic so that it doesnt get dry and dull. Its $7 a can. Also i spray the quad down with silicon lightly before i wash it and i spray alot on the engine after i wash+dry it.....Then i saturate it in mud all over again!!!

Yeah, thats the ticket, mud it, clean it, mud it, clean it, etc, hehehe...

Every time I got a new Harley at work I'd wax it once and from then on it got nothing but pure Simple Green, sit for 5-10 minutes then hosed off w/ a pressure washer and dried w/ a leaf blower.

It didn't strip the wax off or damage the windshield, instrument panel, decals or plastic light covers.  And it cleaned it well enough to pass a white glove (LITERALLY) inspection.

SG is the best.

I used it for the first time today, by accident actually. My friend went to buy Simple Green and they were out of it, so he bought Greased Lightening instead. WOW! is right, that thing is GREAT!

Told ya! we buy it by the 5 gallon size and put in a small 1 gallon pump sprayer (like for pestisides) it's Awesome stuff!

Just remember not to leave it on alum for more than 10 seconds!

How does Greased Lightening work on dirt up under my atv? That's always the hard stuff.

[Da_Mtg_Man]

greased lightning will clean anything. Like Kawgirl said, don't let it sit on aluminum or it will eat the finish.

Ha, forgot about that when I suggested it to a friend... Oops and also got some on my watch, hehe... But hey, it is GREAT! Where do you get the 5 gallon size and how much does it run for?

Thanks...

Just spray it up underneath everywhere and rinse, especially the hard to get to areas  [smiley=Wink.gif]
Good to go!

[smiley=Shocked.gif] Not good for watches!
We get it at Lowes, I think it is 35.00$ for 5 gallons.
I'm sure Home Depot has it too.

[kawGIRL]

I was wrong on the price of the 5 gallon jug....$27.80 @ LOWES.  

[Nocturnal]

Do you dillute the grease lightening with water or use it straight?

[kawGIRL]

Straight-up!

[Nocturnal]

Thanks

[Warrior]

Do you dillute the grease lightening with water or use it straight?

I dillute it and it works great, I guess if you have REAL REAL heavy mud you can go straight, but it is SUPER strong. I use a 3 gallon fumigation jug and I fill it up with water almost to the top, then add the Greased Lightning and that stuff works incredibly. So just imagine how strong it is...

Laters...

[Shotgun]

where can I get a fumigation jug?

[kawGIRL]

Home depot, lowes, any hardware type store. It's basically a pump sprayer.

[Shotgun]

I have been looking for something that I can connect to my hose to hold the soap while i'm spraying the ATV. Anybody have any idea where I can find such a device?

[kawGIRL]

You can get a small bottle that attaches to a water hose for liquid fertilizer. When you turn the valve one way it mixes the g/l with water, when you turn it the other way it's just water. Is this what your talking about ?

[Shotgun]

This is exactly what i am talking about. I looked at Walmart and Lowes and could not find one.

[atvtrailer]

did you look in the gardening section? because every walmart,lowes,homedepot, any store like that has em but they are usually in like the gardening area or somewhere around that area of the store, also did u ask someone that worked at the store if they had one?

[Shotgun]

No, but I will ask at the store. I would prefer to buy it online if anyone knows a link to someplace please post it. Thanks
