Stains

Mud can look easy to remove and harmless, and it is if you get rid of it on time. The issue is when you can do it, it can lead to an unsightly and permanent stain.

Keeping your off-road vehicle out of mud helps to prevent rust, weak performance, and airflow.

Remember, unattended mud can cause damage to your off-road vehicle. Mud is an odd substance, as it is a liquid that dries into a solid; because of this, it can get just about anywhere in your ATV/UTV vehicle if left to its own devices.

Mud can get into any part of your off-road vehicle, that’s why it’s crucial to get rid of any mud as soon as possible to prevent damage.
