Detailed the ATV and Fixed some things…

I finished up the main detailing to get rid of all the oxidation.  I started to work on some of the corroded wiring and other problems. I had a really hard time getting off some of the body screws because they were so rusted.

All cleaned up:

2005 Kawasaki Brute Force 750 4x4i – New Toy

Posted on the May 2nd, 2010 under Interesting,My Projects,Upstate by

After 10 months of looking I finally found the ATV deal I was looking for.  A 2005 Kawasaki Brute Force 750.  It has 33 hours on the clock ~170 miles, its basically brand new.  I spend about 8 hours today detailing the quad, it was pretty oxidated from sitting outside. I used a oxidation remover and then wax on the whole ATV.  Its coming out pretty good. I took off the racks and starting spray painting some of the rusted bolts and parts with Rustoleum.  The plow needs to be reconditioned as well, I’ll probably strip that down to bear metal with the wizzer next week.  Here are some pics:
