How to Relive “New Bike Day” Every Day

For cyclist of all types, nothing quite compares to the joy of “New Bike Day”—that moment when your ride gleams under the shop lights, ready to hit the road or trail, and head out on adventures.  But riding your bike can dull that luster and that feeling of new can fade away. Luckily, with Formula 100’s Ride + Shine Finish Protectant and Rejuvenator, you can bring back that “new bike glow” every day while ensuring your bike stays protected against the elements.

What is Ride + Shine?

Formula 100 Ride + Shine Finish Protectant and Rejuvenator is a game-changing product designed to revitalize your bike’s finish, making it look as stunning as the day you first unboxed it. Beyond aesthetics, it also protects your bike against harmful UV rays, dirt, dust, and grime buildup, and repels moisture. Its proprietary PolyShield Technology provides a durable, hydrophobic barrier that repels water, mud, sweat, and more, ensuring your bike performs as beautifully as it looks and helping to keep it cleaner longer.

Why Choose Ride + Shine?

Ride + Shine isn’t just another bike shine—it’s a multi-surface solution for protection, performance (and a whole lot of glamour) that stands out in a crowded market. Here are the features that make it unique:

  • New Bike Glow: Instantly rejuvenate your bike’s appearance, bringing back its original showroom finish. It even fills in surface scratches to restore your bike’s finish.
  • UV Protection: Shield your bike’s surfaces from sun damage and fading caused by UVA and UVB rays, ensuring long-lasting vibrancy.
  • Hydrophobic Formula: Sheds water, mud, salt, and corrosive sweat effortlessly, reducing the risk of corrosion and grime buildup.
  • Dirt and Grime Repellent: Keeps dust and debris at bay, so your bike stays cleaner for longer and makes future washes easier.
  • Long-Lasting Coating: Enjoy a fresh, polished look ride after ride, thanks to its enduring protective layer.

PolyShield Technology: The Ultimate Defense

At the heart of Ride + Shine is our proprietary PolyShield Technology. This advanced formula creates a robust barrier that:

  • Guards against the wear and tear caused by exposure to the elements.
  • Restores and maintains a high-quality finish, whether glossy or matte.
  • Enhances durability by preventing dirt and moisture from sticking to the bike’s surfaces.
  • Allows dirt to be easily rinsed off without using high pressure saving your bearings and pivots from water ingress and corrosion.

With PolyShield, your bike isn’t just clean—it’s protected.

How to Use Ride + Shine

Achieving a pro-level finish with Ride + Shine is easy. Here’s how:

  1. Prep the Surface: Start by cleaning your bike with Formula 100 Bike Wash or Express Wash to remove existing dirt and grime.
  2. Apply the Product: For a glossy finish: Spray Ride + Shine directly onto the surface, allow it to dry, and then wipe off any excess with a clean cloth. For a matte luster: Spray Ride + Shine directly onto a cloth and wipe onto the bike’s surface.
  3. Avoid Sensitive Areas: Cover brake discs, pads, and tire treads to prevent overspray. If overspray occurs, wash and rinse the affected area immediately with our cleaning products.

Where to Use It

Ride + Shine is suitable for a variety of finishes and surfaces, including:

  • Frames
  • Suspension components
  • Sidewalls
  • Trim
  • Fenders
  • Pro Tip: avoid friction surfaces like rotors, brakes, pedals, and grips.
