How to Use Clean Machine Bike Wash

(As shown in the 2-minute video tutorial)

1. Light rinse

Gently remove loose dirt. No pressure washer needed.

2. Spray and cover bike with Clean Machine Bike Wash

Our no-run gel gives you a more effective and gentle clean without wasting product.

3. Relax & Wait

Let the Smart pH Tech do the work for you and release the bonds of gunk for about 5-10 minutes.

*If you have any areas with extra-heavy buildup, you can gently use a brush to help break this down. Focus on the drivetrain and tight areas.

4. Rinse thoroughly

Gently rinse away the junk leaving your bike clean. Avoid pressure washers that can damage your bike.

5. Dry with the Ultra-Premium Microfiber Cloth

Gentle, effective, scratch-free drying.

Optional Steps:

Degrease your drivetrain (recommended)

Speed Clean Chain + Drivetrain Cleaner uses the same process as Clean Machine Bike Wash so it is a great time to clean and refresh your entire bike. Apply the drivetrain cleaner to deep clean your cranks, chain, and cassette, wait 5-10 minutes, and rinse. Once your drivetrain is clean and dry, re-lube with your favorite Formula 100 chain lube.

Apply Ride + Shine Finish Rejuvenator & Protectant

Restore your bike's luster and add durable protection. Ride + Shine will not only make your bike look like new (or better) but provides defense against UVA/UVB, sweat, water, mud, and dust helping to keep your bike cleaner longer. Additionally, it is ideal for stanchions and dropper seat posts where it provides a very slick finish that dries hard, providing lubrication that doesn't attract dirt.
