You got to be extremely careful with sprain iron on any plastic or rubber or vinyl. That stuff. Deteriorates those surfaces like you wouldn't believe. When COVID first started, our company went nuts on the germ killing products and spray nine is one of them 99.9% germ killing rate. You should see the inside of our loaders and dump trucks after just a few months of cleaning them with spray 9. Almost all the plastic's are now white and brittle, all the rocker switches and stuff on the dash no longer have the white images on them telling what they are. Even our rubber floor mats on the loaders are starting to crumble around the edges. The vinyl on the sun visors is so brittle now. You would swear that it was 25 or 30 years old, even in one of our newest loaders. That's less than 8 months old. I've used spray nine all my life but never really at full strength and never left it any amount of time, but I had no idea that it was this powerful.

Yeah I never leave it on for a long time, thats where the danger is. Same with simple green on aluminum

Thats why I use super clean at full strength, it doesn't damage any plastics, and also if your using a pressure washer, it requires no brush ir rag, But works really well at removing mud stains, and also works great for cleaning the tires

Super clean is even worse. Much harsher cleaner. Don't leave that on plastic long either.

I've used super clean for 10 plus years, it's the only one that doesn't hurt plastic not does it turn it colors or dry it out. Not sure where you got that info from, my buggys look new after years of use, spray on, let soak for a bout 5 min spray off.

I got the info from first hand information. Super clean was always my go-to since the early 90s. It's awesome for cleaning tires and years ago when I used to work with a paving crew, I always used it to spray the truck down before I pressure washed, it was one of the only cleaners that would take the asphalt film off the bottom half of the truck. But I can tell you first hand you leave that on plastic very long. It will change color and if it's left on there, especially to dry or just shy of drying and used a lot, it will make plastic brittle. That's the nature of a degreaser.

Everything has its purpose at its right dilution ratios. On the cab model I have now, if I were to leave a degreaser of any sort to dry on (or come close to dry) it would spot the windows horrific. Now on my atvs, tractors, implements I use a strong degreaser with soap as a surfactant

 

[Rsikes]

I'd never let anything dry on mine. Jmo lol

And always reapply a conditioner of your choice after ever time, and a wax on the painted surface

Every ride in these photos, 100%non diluted superclean, after ever ride, and sprayed down with fads clear magic. No very many maintain their rides like I do, I can't tell ya what letting it dry on will do, but this is how mine turns out every time. I'm a very picky person.

Leaf blower ftw, air dry leaves so many spots

fads clear magic.

What's that stuff? Google couldn't find it.

[scottmc]

Thanks very much. I'll keep digging.

Looks great BTW.

it won't help keeping mud from sticking,but chemical guys has a cleaner for orv/off roaders called tough mudder cleaner.works in foam cannons and bucket washes.

Well it’s that time of year, duck season in Louisiana. Opens this weekend on my end. A problem is it’s 6 miles one way in 4 wheel drive, low range damn near on the floor. The North Delta we hunt mud is horrendous, I once took the paint off my truck trying to pressure wash it off, taking my time mind you.
I was wondering what the best you mud riders have found to keep the mud from sticking, I don’t mind cleaning but I usually have to punch a hole through the mud with a 0 degree tip and steam and then start cleaning.
I’ve tried SC1, Pledge, WD40, water based dressing, not really much luck. My buddy suggested diesel?? Thanks

 

[Rsikes]

I use to spray wd 40 all under my atvs, and I always had the axle seals and output shaft seals leaking, I believe it was just coincidence, but was never sure, so I stopped, I was told it swells rubber, no proof in my pudding 😂

I'm a huge fan of super clean also. Nothings takes the bugs off the vehicles better. BUT always wet any painted surface first or it will streak paint. Works so good on tires too. Actually I haven't tried it yet on the defender but I surely will. Can't believe how some muds will stick to the defender tires. Came home the other from hunting and immediately took the pressure washer to it and man it took forever to blast the tires clean.
