CFMoto has introduced a dry cleaning and polishing spray for its side-by-side UTVs, called CFMoto SxS Cleaning Polish. The product, applied without water, raises questions about its practicality for off-road vehicles caked in mud and dust.
In an unexpected move, CFMoto has launched a new product for cleaning and polishing its side-by-side (SxS) utility task vehicles (UTVs). The CFMoto SxS Cleaning Polish comes in a spray bottle and is designed to be used directly on the vehicle’s body without rinsing with water.
What is the CFMoto SxS Cleaning Polish?
The product is a dry cleaning and polishing liquid specifically for CFMoto’s UTVs. Users spray it onto dirty surfaces and wipe it off with a soft cloth, removing dirt and dust while leaving a protective glossy layer. According to RideApart, the concept seems odd, as off-road vehicles often encounter mud and sludge, making dry cleaning impractical in many cases.
Why is this product controversial?
The polish targets a niche group of UTV owners who use their vehicles for off-road trips and challenges. However, many question whether off-road enthusiasts truly need a specialized polish. These vehicles are typically covered in mud and require a strong water wash, not just a dry spray. The price has not been announced, but it is expected to be higher than general cleaning products.
What are the claimed benefits?
- Ease of use: Spray and wipe, no water needed.
- Protection: Shields paint from UV rays and dirt.
- Safe formula: Works on plastic, metal, and rubber surfaces.
- Long-lasting shine: Leaves a durable gloss.
Is it necessary or just a marketing gimmick?
Some analysts believe CFMoto is trying to create a new market for recreational vehicle care products, leveraging its brand name. In reality, regular car polish can achieve similar results. However, the product may be useful for quick clean-ups between trips, especially if the vehicle is only lightly soiled.
When will it be available in the Gulf?
CFMoto has not announced an official release date, but it is expected to reach authorized dealers in the coming months. It may arrive in Gulf markets, particularly Saudi Arabia and the UAE, where off-road sports are popular, through official distributors.
Should you buy it?
If you own a CFMoto side-by-side and care about its appearance between rides, this product could be a convenient quick-clean option. But if you regularly wash your vehicle with water and soap, you likely don’t need it. The key is to wait for the price and compare it with other products.
