Slick Products specializes in keeping off-road, street, bicycle, and watercraft vehicles looking pristine with non-corrosive cleaning solutions and products. When the Dirt Wheels staff is preparing for a photo shoot or returning an ATV or SxS to the manufacturer, Slick Products is our go-to source for buffing out the OHV with the garden-hose water cannon ($44.95), scrub brush ($9.99), wash mitt ($9.99) and microfiber towel ($4.99), and a wide variety of cleaning concentrates, degreasers, exterior dressings and detailers. Slick is also constantly reformulating and fine-tuning its solutions for off-road vehicles and coming up with new products, like its Super-Concentrated Touchless Pre-Soak and Hybrid Ceramic Off-Road Wash.
The Touchless Pre-Soak softens mud, dirt, grime and bugs, and is formulated to be spray-on and rinse-off. The low-density foaming solution is super concentrated and designed to work with Slick’s water cannon or pressure-washer foam gun ($49.99). Dilute it, apply, and let it soak for a couple of minutes before rinsing it off with a hose or washer. It has a watermelon scent, and it’s recommended that hot surfaces should be cooled down prior to use. For best results, follow up with off-road wash or the new Hybrid Ceramic Off-Road Wash. Get it in 16-ounce ($14.99), 32-ounce ($24.99), 64-ounce ($39.99) or gallon ($59.99) sizes.
Containing hybrid ceramic polymers to disperse water and leave a smooth coating, this high-density foaming concentrate penetrates, softens, and loosens tough dirt and clay mud from surfaces. It’s also formulated and designed for use in a water cannon or foam gun. Fill either up to the concentrate level in the cannon or gun (standard dilution is 4-ounce soap to a gallon of water), then dilute with water before applying. Once it has penetrated the grime, agitate with Slick’s non-scratch scrub brush or wash mitt, and then dry with a clean microfiber towel. We usually work over one body panel at a time and then rinse, and the results are amazing. The Hybrid Ceramic Off-Road Wash comes in the same sizes and at the same prices as the Touchless Pre-Soak.
If a machine’s engine is particularly grimy and greasy, we go to Slick’s heavy-duty cleaner and degreaser to penetrate and lift oil, grease, and tough grime. We also apply it to tires and wheels, and this solution has a citrus scent. The professional-strength cleaner can also be diluted for light cleaning, and it’s applied with a trigger sprayer. The 16-ounce spray bottle is $9.99, and the gallon refill is $39.99. Slick also has its original off-road wash discounted to $8.99 for the 16-ounce, and there are bundles available for even more savings.
And last, if the loan unit is going back to the manufacturer or dealership, we apply Slick’s multi-surface exterior dressing for a show-and-shine gloss and finish. It’s formulated to renew and shine body panels while reducing discoloration, fading, and cracking. The non-greasy solution is best used on rubber, plastic and vinyl while leaving a smooth finish. We either spray it on directly or spray a towel and wipe it on, and the results are amazing. Slick recommends that this slick solution shouldn’t be applied to control pedals, tire treads, steering wheels or infotainment screens. MSRPs are $14.99 (16 ounces) to $59.99 (128 ounces).
Slick also has a wide variety of other cleaning products, like its Aerosol Shine & Protectant, Wash & Wax, Streak-Less Glass Cleaner, and Instant Detailer. We’re impressed with all Slick formulas, and the detailer is as good as or better than VP Racing’s Instant Detailer. If the machine isn’t very muddy or grimy, we usually get great results with Off-Road Wash and Exterior Dressing in a two-step process. Heavier jobs call for Touchless Pre-Soak and Cleaner & Degreaser to get the results we seek. Slick also offers customers more savings with bundles like the Off-Road Starter bundle ($69.99), which includes a 32-ounce Hybrid Ceramic Off-Road Wash, 16-ounce Cleaner & Degreaser, 13-ounce Shine & Protectant, scrub brush, wash mitt, and microfiber towel. It’s also available with a pressure-washer foam cannon (+$49.99) or water-hose foam gun (+$44.99). Check them out at www.slickproductsusa.com or call (855) 754-2501.
