    Cleaning up the 825i

    I cleaned up my Gator some recently.


    I always wash using the 2 bucket method with a third bucket for the wheels. I had previously applied a spray wax to many of the surfaces so quite easy to clean. The plastics will scratch easily if not done properly.

    Nor I. I've had 3 years, and just hosed it off maybe three times. But I start it maybe 20 times a day, used all day long.

    Yea, it's not so much a problem when you drive in while the mud is still wet and sticky. It's after it dries and the mud is brittle. Still, the Gator is a piece of cake. You should try bringing an excavator in the house. Those damn tracks have a million nooks and crannies. No matter how well I clean it, and it may be clean driving in, it always leave a trail of dirt clods when I take it out the next time.

    this made me laugh. I had the mental picture you were driving it in the living room to watch tv or something.

    Exactly. It is the dried mud that drops off when you pull in and out.
