Go On, Touch Them: Why Your Brakes Deserve More Than a Spray-and-Pray

You’ve probably heard it before: “Don’t touch your disc brakes!” Mechanics whisper it like it’s gospel. But here at Muc-Off, we call BS.

It's not if you touch them, it’s how you touch them.

Because when it comes to braking performance, leaving your discs caked in trail filth, bike park dust, or workshop grease is like racing with your laces untied. If you want bite, consistency, and squeal-free stops that don’t sound like a banshee’s mating call, then you’ve gotta get up close and personal. That’s where our Disc Brake Cleaner comes in.

What’s the Deal?

The Muc-Off Disc Brake Cleaner is your go-to weapon for restoring full stopping power and extending the life of your braking components. It rips through oil, grease, grime, and even that stubborn brake dust you thought was permanent.

And while most cleaners just strip things raw, ours goes a step further. We’ve packed it with rehydrating conditioners that breathe life back into tired pads, treating them like the premium components they are.

 

Why It Kicks Ass:

  • Reduces Brake Squeal: Say goodbye to the haunted house soundtrack every time you squeeze the levers.

  • Rehydrates Pads: Our formula doesn’t just clean, it restores. Think of it as spa treatment for your stoppers.

  • Safe on Delicate Bits: Carbon, rubber, plastics? It’s all good — this product plays nice with everything.

  • No Residue, No Worries: It evaporates fast and clean, leaving no greasy film to mess up your ride.

Still Nervous About “Touching” Your Brakes?

We get it. There’s a fine line between fixing and f***ing it. But we’ve tested it on race bikes, downhill rigs, and e-MTB beasts under the hammer. And guess what? Pro mechanics, yep, the same ones who tell you not to mess with your discs, use it too. The secret? Knowing how to clean, not just spraying and hoping.

Here’s the proper way to give your brakes a proper dose:

How to Use It Like a Pro:

  1. Cool it: Make sure your rotors aren’t fresh off a descent.
  2. Cover up: Wear our mechanics gloves to ensure there is no contamination.
  3. Shake the can: Wake up those active ingredients.
  4. Spray the rotors and pads: Hit both, evenly.
  5. Let it dry: Give it a few seconds to flash off.
  6. Wipe down: Optional, but a clean microfibre never hurts.

Final Word

Whether you’re lining up for race day, chasing KOMs, or just want to actually stop at the café instead of sliding past it, clean brakes matter. So go on. Touch them. Treat them right. And let the Muc-Off Disc Brake Cleaner do what it was born to do.

💥 Clean. Quiet. Maximum bite. No excuses.
