Let's go back to talking about the cleaning the bicycle, That made with quality and thanks to products that preserve all the components of the mechanical vehicle. We do it with Svitol Bike.
Il cleaning kit Svitol Bike complete one gamma rich and complete, where naturally even the lubricantsWhat does the cleaning kit include and how do you use its products? Let's take a look together, adding a few tips and tricks.
What's inside the box with that cute writing?
The first is a liquid, also in the order of use it is the concentrated detergent 1:10 and not a simple detergent. It is obtained thanks to a formula that adopts nanotechnology, particularly useful because it leaves no residue, because it leaves surfaces shiny and its foam is easy to remove even with a little water, because it is possible prepare up to 10 liters of detergent (with the addition of water). There is the Polish and it is a polish/protective real. It is a spray and once applied it offers a anti-static protection and a kind of water-repellent protective film (in addition to making dust and debris slide away from the road). One of its great advantages is its versatility, because its action is for the matt surfaces, as much as for those lucid.
To facilitate the cleaning the bicycleTo make it fast and effective, you also need the right tools. The Svitol kit includes (5 accessories) a soft and delicate sponge, as well as a series of brushes with different bristles and shapes. The aim is to offer the right tool for every single part of the bike (frame, spokes and rims, gears and chain).
Cleanse properly
Cleaning your bike properly is first and foremost a sign of respect for the mechanical means and affects its usability, efficiency and longevity. A “right” cleaner must not be too aggressive, it must respect all those rotating components that include the bearings, it must be able to remove dirt, but not the hidden grease/lubricant (the bottom bracket comes to mind, just to give an example, but also the headset). foam in the appropriate quantity and easy to “pull” when sponged onto the frame, easy to remove with plain waterIt must not harm the environment.
We usually use the Svitol Detergent Spray formula before the actual cleansing. It's a trick we only use when the the bicycle is particularly dirty, but in reality, it might be sufficient to use the Concentrated Detergent diluted in water. If the bike isn't too dirty and doesn't have significant residue from old lubrication, the brushes included in the kit, moistened with the Detergent, can also be sufficient to thoroughly clean the mechanical device in various areas, even the hidden ones. Rinsing remains essential, especially with a view to correct drying and subsequent application of PolishAnother tip: a high-quality detergent can be seen when a simple action with the sponge is enough, without squeezing or scratching. This means preserve the paintwork and the various finishes.
Svitol Bike Polish
What a great surprise, what a great "cosmetic" Because that's what it's all about. It's a spray to use after cleaning and washing your bike, post lubrication and is specific for the frame and fork. It is not for use on the saddle, handlebars (and bar tape), brake levers, rotors, or calipers. It is not for use on tires. Polish is a polish and protector, it creates a shiny film that lasts for days, protects, helps keep the bike clean, it makes the water run away, but above all the sweat.
Glossy effect yes, but not greasyIt is essential to apply it using a clean, non-rough cloth, a spray that must be "pulled" calmly and with "long" actionsIt can be applied directly, the advice is to do it only in some sensitive points, for example the fork crown, near the bottle cages, or the rear tubes near the tire. It is essential to be precise/careful in application and let the Polish “dry/evaporate”.
The tools
In the Svitol box there is the sponge, but above all four brushes with different bristles, for thickness, length and density, for different uses. The biggest one It is dedicated to the frame in general, with soft and not at all aggressive bristles, it is a sort of adjuvant to the action of the sponge. The brush with the head that separates in two parts it is suitable for the rims, for the spokes, and in our opinion also for the chain and the crowns. The 4 in 1 It's specifically designed for rear gears, sprockets, and pulleys, where dirt and debris can build up and block transmission. It's particularly useful for cleaning between sprockets. There's one that looks like a paintbrush, also this one specific for the sprockets, useful in our opinion also for correctly "pulling" the new lubrication (done after cleaning). It is very important always use brushes consistently for the same purpose.
