Keeping your ATV, UTV, or side-by-side clean can be a challenge, especially after a day of tearing through mud, dirt, and grime. RealTruck, known for its aftermarket truck accessories, offers a cleaning solution designed to tackle this task: RealTruck Truck Wash. According to RealTruck.com, this wash is engineered to provide a deep clean and brilliant shine while being gentle on your vehicle's surfaces.

Here's a breakdown of what RealTruck Truck Wash offers:

  • Streak-Free Rinsing: The formula is designed to rinse clean, leaving no streaks or water spots behind, which can be a common problem with other washes.
  • Eco-Friendly Formula: The wash uses a salt-free formula that creates a thick, rich foam without harsh chemicals, acids, abrasives, or silicones.
  • Multi-Surface Safe: RealTruck states the wash is safe for all vehicle surfaces, including those with ceramic coatings, offering peace of mind for owners with specialized finishes.
  • pH-Neutral: The pH-neutral formula is gentle on waxes, polishes, and other protective coatings, helping to maintain their effectiveness.

Application

Using RealTruck Truck Wash involves a few simple steps, according to the manufacturer:

  1. Wet the vehicle's surface thoroughly with water.
  2. In a bucket, mix ½ oz. (or more, depending on the level of cleaning needed) of RealTruck Truck Wash with two gallons of water.
  3. Agitate the mixture to create the desired foam level.
  4. Wash the surface using a clean, soft cloth or sponge.
  5. Rinse the vehicle thoroughly.
  6. Dry with a chamois or absorbent cloth.

RealTruck emphasizes that you should not allow the Truck Wash to dry on the surface of the vehicle. They also recommend reviewing the Safety Data Sheet for ingredient and safety information.

Why This Matters for ATV/UTV Owners

Off-road vehicles are exposed to harsh conditions that can quickly degrade their appearance and protective coatings. Using a wash specifically designed to be gentle on these coatings, while still providing a thorough clean, is essential for maintaining the vehicle's value and appearance. The streak-free formula is particularly beneficial, as it reduces the time and effort required to achieve a spotless finish.

The eco-friendly aspect of the formula is also a plus, as it minimizes the environmental impact of washing your vehicle. This can be particularly important for riders who frequently wash their vehicles in outdoor settings.
