  • Detailed the 4 wheeler!!

    I bought a 2005 Honda 400EX back in January and did some routine maintenance on it this weekend and added most of the factory stickers back to the body (the previous owner pressure washed the original stickers off!). I decided to go ahead and give it a good detail while I was at it! I washed it with NXT, shined up the plastic with Hyper Dressing, used All Purpose Cleaner to get those more stubborn mud stains on the frame, etc. I took the wheels off and shined them using Meguiar's Metal Polysh. Metal Polysh was also used on the aluminum nerf bars and front bumper. It's going to be hard to take it through the dirt and mud after shining it up!





    I'm waiting on the Honda dealer to get the LH 400EX sticker-they ordered the wrong year.

    It looks great!! I bet it WILL be hard to bring yourself to take it through the dirt and mud now! Well, once you do decide to, at least you know that you can get it nice and shiny again afterwards with a little help from Meguiar's!

          I tried PlastX & the PC and didn't have any luck. I might try it again sometime....

          Thanks everyone!
