MucOff Bicycle Silicon Shine Polish
Some like their bike to look beautiful and shiny, the clever ones however will be using Muc-Off Silicone Shine to keep their frame & component surfaces smooth and slippery to prevent future dirt and muck build-up. Designed as an after-wash treatment for your bike, the Silicone Spray comes in an easy to apply spray can that will add sheen and polish to your bicycle. When it comes to maintenance and keeping your pride & joy in top top condition, there are many ways to ease the burden of bike cleaning that will encourage you to keep your bike running cleanly and smoothly. And when it comes to cleaning, degreasing, maintaining and lubing up your mountain or road bike, UK brand Muc-Off are the experts.
Application
For best results, apply a layer of Silicon Shine to your clean and dry bike after it has been degreased with Muc-Off bicycle cleaner. Don't go overboard with the spray, just a light coating over the frame, rims, suspension forks, cockpit and any other components you want to look ridiculously good. Because the Silicon Spray is safe on rubber components, spraying a wee-layer onto the stanchions of your fork and/or shock will actually reduce seal friction and provide smooth suspension performance. After spraying onto your bike, use a clean rag or micro-fibre cloth to buff the bike and create and uber-shiny finish.
My Mountain Cleaning Tips
Using a silicone polish on your bike after cleaning will build up a layer of silicone on key frame tubing and component surfaces to decrease surface friction and prevent future dirt build-up. When dirt and mud does make its way onto your bike, cleaning it off will be ten-fold easier as it simply slides off the slippery surface you have created. Avoid spraying onto disc brake rotors or disc brake pads as reduced friction is not something you want with your brakes! While not essential but recommended, use the Muc-Off Brake Cleaner spray to evaporate any contaminants off your disc brake rotor and pads if you have gotten silicon spray onto those surfaces.
Remember; A clean bike is a smooth-running bike that will keep you and your mechanic happy!'
