FAQs
Is this kit suitable for matte paint finishes?
Yes, the Gtechniq Ultimate Bike Care Kit is safe for all bike paint finishes, including matte, gloss, and satin, as well as protection films.
How often should I apply the Ceramic Quick Coat?
The frequency depends on riding conditions and washing habits. Typically, applying it every 2-3 washes or as needed to maintain the hydrophobic effect is recommended for optimal protection.
Can I use the Bike Wash on my suspension components?
Yes, the Bike Wash is safe for use on all parts of the bike, including suspension seals and components, when used as directed.
What is the difference between Bike Clean and Bike Wash?
Bike Clean is a concentrated formula for deeper cleaning of heavily soiled bikes, while Bike Wash is a ready-to-use shampoo for regular maintenance washes. Both effectively clean the bike's surfaces.
How do I clean the microfibre wash mitt and drying towel?
Machine wash them separately from other laundry using a dedicated microfibre detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and high heat drying, as these can damage the microfibre.
Does the kit include everything I need for a complete clean?
The kit provides a comprehensive range of cleaning and protection products along with essential microfibre tools. You may need additional water sources (hose, buckets) and potentially a separate microfibre applicator for the Ceramic Quick Coat.
What is the benefit of Tri-Clean?
Tri-Clean is a versatile product used for light cleaning, removing residue from other products, or as a quick detailer between washes to maintain a spotless appearance.
Troubleshooting
Streaky finish after drying
Ensure the bike was thoroughly rinsed to remove all cleaning product residue. Use a clean, dry section of the Bike Drying Towel for the final buffing, or switch to a fresh towel if the current one is saturated.
Degreaser not removing all chain grime
Allow the degreaser to dwell on the drivetrain components for a few minutes before agitating with the Bike Detailing Brush. For heavily soiled drivetrains, a second application may be necessary.
Ceramic Quick Coat application appears uneven
Ensure the surface was completely clean and dry before application. Apply in smaller sections and buff off immediately with a clean microfibre cloth. If unevenness persists, reapply a light mist and buff again.
Bike Clean not lathering effectively
Ensure you are using the correct dilution ratio if using the concentrate. For the ready-to-use Bike Clean, ensure the nozzle is not clogged and that the product is within its shelf life. Extreme water hardness can sometimes affect lathering.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: The Gtechniq Ultimate Bike Care Kit is designed to be safe for all bike paint finishes and protection films. This includes gloss, matte, satin, and anodized surfaces, as well as clear protective wraps commonly found on high-wear areas.
Setup & Use:
- Pre-Rinse: Rinse the bike thoroughly with water to remove loose dirt.
- Drivetrain Cleaning: Apply Drivetrain Degreaser to the chain, cassette, and chainrings. Agitate with the Bike Detailing Brush and rinse thoroughly.
- General Cleaning: Use Bike Clean or Bike Wash with the Bike Microfibre Wash Mitt to wash the frame and components. Work from top to bottom.
- Rinse & Dry: Rinse the entire bike again and dry using the Bike Drying Towel to prevent water spots.
- Protection: Apply Ceramic Quick Coat to clean, dry surfaces using a separate microfibre applicator (not included, use a clean microfibre cloth). Buff off with a clean microfibre towel.
- Detailing: Use Tri-Clean for light cleaning between washes or to remove any residue.
Care:
- Store all products in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Wash the microfibre mitt, brush, and drying towel separately from other laundry using a dedicated microfibre detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade microfibre performance.
- Ensure lids are securely fastened to prevent evaporation or spillage.
