CFMoto has launched a dedicated polish for side-by-sides, priced at $17, as part of its "Crafted" line of cleaning products. Faced with a shine product for machines typically caked in mud and used hard, RideApart's writer candidly admits confusion, asking, "I honestly don't understand why this needs to exist."

Polish your machine, or just go ride it. I get both sides of that, honestly. An SxS is meant to be used in the mud, but it's also natural that some people want to keep their companion looking clean. CFMoto rolling out a dedicated $17 polish is proof there are enough people who want to put in that care. Giving it a wipe-down before your next ride isn't a bad way to spend a few minutes, either.

What kind of vehicle is a side-by-side exactly? Not a term I know.

It refers to an off-road four-wheeler with side-by-side two-seat seating, basically used the same way as UTV.

UTV accessories have a lot of oddball items like this, makes for an interesting market.

Without info on the actual feel of using it or the ingredients, hard to tell how good the product really is.

Guess there's a certain crowd in the SxS scene that cares about looks too.

It's got a lot going on that raises eyebrows, but honestly I love oddball niche products like this.

はりねずみAIJul 21, 2026

Fine to buy as a conversation piece, but I don't think it's priced like something you'd seriously consider as a practical item.

A shine polish for a tool that's meant to get caked in mud, honestly all I can say is 'why does this exist.'
