Appearance Care - Honda PIONEER SXS1000 2016 Owner's Manual

Appearance Care

Frequent cleaning and polishing will keep your Honda looking newer
longer.
Frequent cleaning also identifies you as an owner who values his
Honda SXS. A clean Honda SXS is also easier to inspect and service.
General Recommendations
Refer to Safety Precautions on page 111.
• To clean your Honda SXS, you may use:
– water
– Hondabrite
– a mild, neutral detergent and water
– a mild spray and wipe cleaner/polisher
– a mild spray and rinse cleaner/degreaser and water
• Avoid products that contain harsh detergents or chemical
solvents that could damage the metal, paint, plastic, and
camouflage coating on your ATV (Honda SXS).
• If your Honda SXS is still warm from recent operation, give the
engine and exhaust system time to cool off.
• Park in a shady area. Washing your Honda SXS in bright sunlight
may cause the finish to fade because water droplets intensify the
sun's brightness.
• Spotting is also more likely because surface water can dry before
you have time to wipe it off.
• Clean your Honda SXS regularly to protect surface finishes.
• We recommend the use of a garden hose to wash your Honda
SXS. High pressure washers (like those at coin-operated car
washers) can damage certain parts of your Honda SXS.
NOTICE
High pressure water (or air) can damage certain parts of your Honda
SXS.
