How to Clean the Handlebar Cover of a Sea-Doo

If you're a water recreation enthusiast, you're no stranger to Sea-Doo's line of sporty personal watercraft. These vehicles allow for hours of fun on the lake or the open sea. If you use your Sea-Doo often, the handlebar grips can quickly become stained with dirt, perspiration, sea salt or muck from the lake. The grips are removable, allowing for quick and simple cleaning. Once you're finished, your grips will look and feel good as new.
