This is my family's 2002 Polaris Trail-Blazer, and my 2003 Polaris GenisisI 1200 Watercraft. The ATV is a 250cc 2-stroke, and the watercraft is a 1200cc Fuel Injected 2-stroke(130hp). The jet-ski will be put up for the winter and the ATV was detailed for the winter. Here are my processes



ATV

1. Wash with DC and Simple Green

2. Polish with rotary/ssr1 with a wool pad

3. Finish with Turtle wax ultra platinum gloss

4. Frame and tires dressed with AA

Now that Sea-doo has come out with the 215hp monster, this one is not even close to fast anymore(only 62mph). Hope yall enjoy the details, and expect more odd things detailed from me over the winter.

What is the speed on that thing? Mine like I said will top out at 62mph and will do 0-30 in 3.1 sec's. Just looking for some #'s to compare to.
 
My wife has a Wave Raider 1100 and I have a Kawasaki ZX1 1100. Both of ours top out at an (indicated) 62-63mph. Thats plenty fast on the water. Nice toys youve got there, seems you like POlaris an awful lot. Oh forgot to mention that ours just got a good washing / degreasing, and a hand application of Wax Frenzy cleaner wax. They looked great, but not like yours.

Actualy, we have had 4 polaris products over the past 2yrs. The ones you see there have beent the ones to blow up. The atv has blown up once b/c of water in the intake(dosent go near water and it's only been washed twice) and the pwc has blown up 3 times for reasons the dealer wont really explain to us. We had a 90cc atv and I had a 400cc scrambler 2-stroke, and they both had various problems. We have written polaris many letters describing the problems we have been having and they have never responded. Needless to say that polaris is not our favorite brand. Except for the reliability issues, these two are great performers.



Now even better that they are clean and waxed!

I have had it to 65 in light chop. It is scary fast though, I smoked two brand new ski-doo's this summer that were supercharged. I also beat my dads Triton TR-21 with a 200hp Evinrude and that tops out at 78mph. The only reason I beat him is because I have a serious holeshot and he has top end.
