Step 1 — Clean
- Rinse: Use the pressure washer’s fan lance or a gentle hose to knock off loose crud. Keep the spray wide and moving.
- Foam: Cover frame and components with Nano Tech Bike Cleaner. Let it dwell.
- Agitate: Work from top to bottom with the Premium Brush Kit—use the correct brush for each part of the bike.
- Drivetrain deep-clean: Fill the X-3 Dirty Chain Machine with Drivetrain Cleaner and run the chain through until it’s sparkling.
- Rinse again and dry: Sheet water off with the fan lance or use Microfibre Cloths.
Step 2 — Protect
Protection keeps corrosion at bay and makes the next wash faster.
- Mask brakes: Fit Disc Brake Covers to guard against overspray.
- Mist Bike Protect: Light coat on frame and components (avoiding braking surfaces), then buff. Bike Protect leaves a protective layer that helps repel grime.
- Remove covers before you roll.
Step 3 — Lube (match to the conditions)
Clean chain? Now choose the right lube for the ride.
- Dry & dusty: Bio Dry Lube for a clean-running chain.
