Unless you\u2019ve decked out your side by side with a full cab enclosure, your UTV\u2019s interior is going to get dirty.\u00a0Dust will coat every surface of the interior, and you may find piles of sand on the floor. If you often ride on muddy trails, you\u2019ll find mud caked all over.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luckily, you don’t have to be too delicate with the interior of a side by side. Most UTVs<\/a> are okay to hose down, as long as you know which areas to be extra-cautious when spraying with water.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This makes cleaning a UTV interior fairly easy.\u00a0In this guide, we explain what you need to clean your UTV interior and how to go about it.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Do You Need to Clean the Inside of an ATV?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"What<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You don’t need anything fancy to clean your UTV\u2019s interior. Any car wash detergent<\/strong> is safe to use with your UTV. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also opt for automotive wash designed specifically for off road vehicles such as the Chemical Guys Tough Mudder off road and ATV car wash soap<\/a>. Slick Products also sells highly-rated off road soap<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Off road soaps are stronger to tackle caked-on mud and tough dirt, but still gentle enough not to corrode your UTV. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, choose what you\u2019ll use to spray down the UTV. A hose <\/strong>is the cheapest option for most folks, and you can be sure it won\u2019t damage any part of your vehicle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A pressure washer<\/strong> does a better job removing mud and dirt, and you can vary the pressure and angle of the spray to achieve different results. But you have to be careful not to use too much pressure and damage some components of your vehicle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Something else we highly recommend is a foam cannon or gun<\/strong>. If you have a pressure washer, it probably came with one. If you are using a hose, there are foam guns that work with an ordinary garden hose.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll also need microfiber cloths or mitt<\/strong> to scrub surfaces. If your UTV interior often gets muddy, also get a scraper <\/strong>to remove patches of caked on mud. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may also need a soft brush to remove sand and dust from crevices, or scrub away tough dirt spots. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though optional, specialized detailing and protection products will go a long way in protecting your UTV interior and keeping it looking new. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These include a protectant spray, windshield cleaner, plastic restorer<\/a> and so on.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Clean the Inside of a Side by Side<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"How<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Something to note: it\u2019s best to clean the entire UTV at once – both the interior and exterior. You don’t need to clean the inside separately. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start by removing or covering anything that might be damaged by water. See your vehicle’s manual for instructions on how to safely clean the inside and outside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, spray down the UTV to remove grime, dust, and mud. Don’t use any soap for the initial spray; this is just for removing the worst of the dirt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spray the floor and seats of the UTV to wash away any sand and dirt that has piled up. Check if there\u2019s any drain plugs on the floor or sides of the UTV you need to open to let the water out.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next step is to soap up the UTV, both the inside and outside. The easiest way to do this is using a foam gun attached to a pressure washer or hose. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternatively, add the detergent to water in a bucket then use a microfiber mitt to lather up the UTV interior. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let the soap sit for 3-5 minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, rinse the UTV using a hose or pressure washer. Mud and dirt should easily come off with the soap suds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If there are any spots left, wash them by hand using soap and a microfiber cloth or mitt, then rinse them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After rinsing, use microfiber cloths to dry off the water. Do not leave the UTV to air dry as this will leave behind unsightly water spots.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By now, your UTV should be sparkling clean. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next step is optional, but highly recommended. Use specialized products to protect and detail the interior of the UTV. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A protective spray will keep dirt and mud from sticking to the UTV interior and exterior when you go out, and makes it much easier to wash off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plastic and vinyl restorers can do wonders for an old and faded interior. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
