there is a wrap company based in Canada but for life out of me I cannot remember the company name, They had some serious kick ass wraps but costs around $700-800. 

ECD custom wraps?

Trudeau has a lower approval rating than trump!!!!  Fucking love it

They really are the worst. Them and the summits on 8" snow. 

Yep. Watched an alpha on the trails this year. Made no sense. Arctic cat poser

Poo-laiders are just like their brand....they suck.

I was striving for freedom 35, but I got married and those plans changed.

I hear ya.  I just cracked 37, another kid on the way and well, I'm still at work

I'm contemplating retirement.  Been here at the shop for 21 years now (including part time when I was still in high school.)

Ask Frosty....he says his has the best resale value....pre and post-fire sale

Yep.  Nothing like seeing 2015 non current turbos still for sale at dealers.  Cat dealer in Parry Sound had two that they were trying to blow out.  Free cover, 2 year warranty and studded

Wonder what cat is doing,  snow check only no in season models.  1 year warranty for the same price as the competition.   Seems like a poor choice on the  1 yr especially.  I can see trying to clear out their decade old left overs but I know a few cat guys looking at doo/poo because of lack of models and warranty 

Some are saying 1 year warranty because they will be out of the game

Some pretty clean looking IROC's up that way is there? 

Easy!! 

LOL. Hopefully that all changes next winter when I am fully retired? I hope to do more volunteering at the PPSC and hopefully get out a heck of a lot more! I am currently getting all my paperwork in order and have a financial advisor who is helping me with a bunch of things. 4 months to go before it is official.

I personally would have used gasoline.

 

And steel wool 

I can’t see it being bad on a seadoo. Water should just bead off like it does on a ducks ass

Man that shit is so shinny I can see your reflection.  Wanna come over and do mine?

LOL.  I barely wanted to do this sled.  For as much as I don't like the sled, gotta keep it looking pristine

It has almost doubled in price since I started using it back in 2005 when I purchased my Grizzly atv. It is good stuff but I don't think it's as good as the price they charge for it. I found Ipone cleaner/wax at Royal for quite a bit less and the can is easily 3X's the size of a Plexis can. 

Meguiar's wax/products are excellent as well but I have exclusively been using Collinite 845 Insulator wax now on my vehicles for at least 10 yrs. Nothing, imo, lasts as long which is what I am after. It can only be purchased online but it is worth the trouble. A bottle will last a very long time as very little product is needed. Warm it, shake it, to the consistency of milk and apply very thinnly. It comes off easy as well and protects against all sorts of things. (tons of info online/youtube/Google, etc. Here's just one)

 

I'll have to look into that.  I have some rollite product as well here that I'm going to try.  It's used on aircraft and the FIL uses it on his boat.

Not trying to answer for 04, Steve, but I use Plexis and/or Ipone spray cleaner/wax on most, if not all of the panels. I'll also use 303 protectant on the seat and sometimes use it on the rougher side panels/belly pan areas of the sleds. Plexis has gotten crazy expensive, imo, so I tend to use the Ipone if I can now. I haven't purchased either product in a few years now so I am not even sure what is available anymore?

Plexis is very good as well.  Ran out of it though

Ya I got my last ride in last weekend.. Bring on summer.

04Nightfire what do you use to wax the panels?

 

 

I use meguiars mirror glaze professional. It’s a cleaner and wax. Will look around for something to do the panels on he sled that aren’t smooth.
