Cleaning Your Snowmobile

Keeping your snowmobile clean will not only improve its appearance

but it can also extend the life of various components. With a few

precautions, your sled can be cleaned much like an automobile.

Washing

If a high pressure type car wash system is used, extreme care must be

taken to avoid water damage to the hood, console, nosepan, decals, and

warning labels. Many expensive repair bills can result from using high

pressure detergent systems.
NOTE: If a high pressure car wash is used, grease all zerk fittings

immediately after washing. Also run the vehicle to evaporate any

water that might have entered the engine or exhaust system.
The best and safest way to clean your sled is with a garden hose and a

pail of mild soap and water. Use a professional type washing mitten,

cleaning the upper body first and the lower parts last. Rinse with water

frequently and dry with a chamois to prevent water spots. NOTE: If

warning labels are damaged, contact your a Polaris dealer for free

replacement.

Waxing

Your snowmobile can be waxed with any high quality brand of

automotive paste wax. Avoid the use of harsh cleaners since they can

scratch the body finish.
