Why Bike Maintenance Actually Matters
Odds are you’ve hopped on your bike for a ride once, only for it to feel off – the chain skips, the brakes are rough, maybe the whole thing just sounded… crunchy. Dirt, grime, and road gunk build up fast, and it doesn’t take long before your bike’s performance starts to suffer.
The fix? Routine cleaning. Thankfully, it doesn’t need to be complicated or time-consuming. With the right tools and products, you can keep your bike looking good, running smooth, and lasting longer—all without hauling it to the shop every other month.
What You Actually Need in a Bike Cleaning Kit
Let’s keep it simple. A solid bike cleaning kit should have four things:
- A cleaner for the frame – Something that’s tough on road film but safe on paint and protection films.
- Degreaser for the drivetrain – To clear out built-up grime from your chain, cassette, and derailleur.
- Protective coating – To keep your bike cleaner for longer and make future washdowns easier.
- Microfibres and tools – Brushes, mitts, and cloths that won’t scratch your paint.
What’s in the Ultimate Bike Care Kit (and Why It’s Useful)
We put this kit together with one goal: make it easy for anyone to clean, protect, and maintain their bike properly—without needing a mechanic’s setup or spending hours online figuring out what product works with what. Here’s what’s inside and how it helps:
1. Clean the Frame & Components
- Bike Clean (1L) + Bike Clean Concentrate (500ml): Spray-and-rinse formulas that lift dirt and road grime without harming your bike’s finish or protection films. The concentrate lets you refill and reuse—less plastic waste, more value.
- Bike Wash (250ml): A more sudsy option for deeper cleans—great after muddy rides or dusty trails.
2. Clean the Drivetrain
- Drivetrain Degreaser (500ml): Your chain and gears take the brunt of every ride. This cleaner cuts through the oily, gritty mess without stripping anything important. Just spray it on, agitate with a detailing brush, and rinse.
3. Add Protection & Shine
- Ceramic Quick Coat (500ml): Just spray onto a clean cloth and apply across the frame for protection that repels water and dirt. Think of it like wax for your bike—except better and easier.
- Bike Ceramic (15ml): A longer-term protectant that bonds to your paint to add slick, hydrophobic protection and your bike looking fresh longer.
4. Clean Touchpoints
- Tri-Clean (500ml): Use this on helmets, bars, grips, or seats. It removes sweat, bacteria, and general grossness without damaging the material.
5. Tools That Make It Easy
- Bike Microfibre Wash Mitt: Soft enough for frames, tough enough to get rid of grime.
- Bike Detailing Brush: Perfect for spokes, tight corners, or drivetrain bits.
- Bike Drying Towel: High-absorbency cloth to dry without streaks.
- Bike Microfibre: For final wipe-downs or applying coatings.
When to Use What: A Simple Routine That Works
You don’t need to go all in after every ride, but sticking to a basic routine will keep your bike running better for longer. Here’s a quick cheat sheet:
- After short rides: Quick wipe with Bike Clean + microfibre mitt
- Weekly: Degrease drivetrain, reapply Ceramic Quick Coat
- Monthly: Full clean with Bike Wash, deep clean drivetrain
- Anytime contact points get too grimy: Tri-Clean does the job
- Gtechniq Bike Ceramic has a 2-year durability, so after applying routine maintenance will maximize longevity!
