FAQs
Are the formulas safe for all bike finishes?
Yes, the formulas are designed to be safe for various bike finishes, including paint, carbon fiber, and anodized aluminum.
How do I use the foam applicator block?
Apply the Graphene Spray Wax to the foam applicator, then spread it evenly across the bike's painted surfaces in a thin, consistent layer.
Can I use the Brake and Drivetrain Cleaner on disc brake rotors?
Yes, it is designed to clean these components effectively. Ensure thorough rinsing afterward.
What is the difference between the Graphene Spray Wax and the Ceramic Waterless Wash?
The Graphene Spray Wax provides a longer-lasting protective barrier and gloss. The Ceramic Waterless Wash is for quick cleaning and light protection between washes.
Are these products safe to use indoors?
While the formulas are eco-friendly, it is recommended to use them in a well-ventilated area, similar to other cleaning products. Ensure proper rinsing and drying of the bike.
How often should I use the Graphene Spray Wax?
Apply the Graphene Spray Wax after cleaning for optimal protection and shine. Reapplication frequency depends on riding conditions and exposure, but typically every few washes is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Brake squeal persists after using Brake and Drivetrain Cleaner
Ensure the cleaner was thoroughly rinsed off. For persistent squeal, check brake pad alignment and rotor condition.
Streaks left on the frame after washing
Rinse the bike completely with clean water. Ensure no cleaning product residue remains. Dry with a clean microfiber towel.
Graphene Spray Wax doesn't seem to bead water effectively
Ensure the surface was clean and dry before application. Apply a second thin coat if necessary, allowing adequate drying time between coats.
Waterless Wash leaves marks on a very dirty bike
The Ceramic Waterless Wash is best for light to moderate dirt. For heavily soiled bikes, use the Bike Wash first for a more thorough clean.
