While used powersports vehicles are highly affordable, some can look a bit worse for wear. Luckily, these kinds of aesthetic flaws are usually much easier and cheaper to fix than serious mechanical issues. If you’re interested in refurbishing or restoring your used powersports vehicle, this guide from the experts at Silver PowerSports can help you get started. 

Clean and Wax the Vehicle

Even a basic cleaning and waxing can do wonders for your used powersports vehicle. Washing removes built-up dirt and grime, which will help discourage deterioration/corrosion. Meanwhile, waxing will help hide scratches and create a protective layer around your vehicle. Be sure to check your owner’s manual for information about which products are safe to use on your vehicle. 

Give It a Fresh Paint Job

If your pre-owned powersports vehicle has a paint job that has become scratched or faded over time, repainting it can go a long way toward making it look better. Even if the current paint job is intact, it might not be a good fit for your sense of style. Luckily, you can paint your powersports vehicle whatever color you prefer. Just make sure that the paint you use is manufacturer-approved, or you might end up accidentally causing harm to the vehicle. 

Add Custom Graphics

Custom graphics are another easy yet fun way to customize your powersports vehicle. Vinyl wraps and decals are two popular choices and are available in a wide variety of different designs. 

Swap Out the Seat Covers

The seat covers are often the first part of a powersports vehicle to show its age, so don’t be afraid to replace them if they’re looking a bit worse for wear. In most cases, there will be dozens of different seat cover types and designs compatible with your vehicle, so don’t be afraid to shop around. 

Replace Old Accessories

Many used powersports vehicles come with accessories installed by previous owners. Unfortunately, these accessories can sometimes be worn-down, outdated, or just not a good fit for your sense of style. Feel free to remove or replace these accessories as you see fit.
