Bike Cleaners & Degreasers

About

A bike cleaner is different to a bike degreaser. Bike cleaners are gentler and used on your bike's frame, suspension and even brakes. One of our favourites is the Muc-Off Bike Cleaner . This lifts the dirt and mud off the surface which makes it a lot easier to rinse off stubborn stains. A bike degreaser is designed for your drive-train components. Stuff like chain, cassette sprockets, derailleur, jockey wheels and chain rings. Degreasers are designed to strip grease, old chain lube and heavy grime. --- The first step to a clean bike is to degrease first. Bike degreasers come in various intensities. For example: Muc-Off's High - Pressure Quick Drying Degreaser is a fast and powerful degreaser that doesn't require rinsing. Then there's Muc-Off's Bio Drivetrain Cleaner that is safe to use on metal, plastic and rubber. Then use a suitable bike cleaner or bike wash to clean the rest of the bike. Use a soft brush or sponge. Use a microfibre cloth to absorb any moisture - especially from the chain. After your bike is clean, use an after bike wash surface protectant. Protectants are either silicone-based (like the Muc-Off Silicone Shine ) or oil-based (like the Muc-Off Bike Protect ). Oil based protectants are a little more heavy-duty and better for Winter riding; especially for commuters, mountain bikers and gravel riders. Bike Protect and Silicone Shine can also be used on droppers posts, suspension stanchions and suspension pivots.
