MAINTENANCE
Fall Tune-Up
For maximum performance, arrange for a fall service tune-up with your 
POLARIS dealer. His experienced and trained service technician will 
keep your machine in peak operating condition.
Matte Clear Coat Cleaning
Matte finish products are prone to trapping dirt, oils and other contami-
nants. POLARIS Industries rec-ommends cleaning with warm water and 
a mild dish detergent. Use a soft sponge to gently rub the surface and 
rinse with clean warm water. For stubborn stains such as grease or oil 
use a citrus based cleaner (3M Citrus Base Cleaner recommended). 
Spray onto the area to be cleaned and rub with a soft sponge. Allow to 
sit for a couple of minutes and wash away with clean warm water. 
Repeat as necessary to clean the surface.
NOTICE: Never use a polishing/buffing wax or any sponge that has an abrasive
surface. These products will buff the matte surface of the finish result-
ing in a glossy finish. It is not recommended that you clean matte fin-
ishes with a pressure washer as this will further imbed contaminants 
into the clear coat and possibly damage the decals.
