Washing in Winter

[xKroniK13x]

Okay... well my blaster has been sitting in the garage now for about a month and a half dirty. The cold weather just appeared unexpectedly and has been below 32 degrees ever since. How should I wash it off when the water would freeze on it? Is it better just to leave some of the mud and wash it when it eventually warms up past 32?

it isn't gonna kill it to be dirty. the way i wash things in the winter[eventhough i'm in florida and it doesn't get crazy cold] is I hook my hose up to the drain nozzle on the water heater in the garage. it works great

That's a good idea. I thought about warm water, but it still would freeze sometime. I'll probably just wait until it warms up some and use warm water.

I use a brush with stiff bristles to clean the dry mud off the plastics and mechanical parts when it gets cold. If I see cold weather starting, I clean all my quads thoroughly and wait until everythings frozen and theres snow on the ground to start riding again.
