Two of the latest products added to Muc-Off's already vast range of cleaning/bike protection products are the Foam Fresh and the Silicone Shine. Muc-Off is really starting to expand their range of products to cover all aspects of bike/rider cleaning and they are now beginning to release the Rider Care Series, featuring their latest product the Foam Fresh. Foam Fresh is a highly effective, easy to use foam cleaner which is ideal for helmet liners or any sort of material which comes in contact with the rider. Foam Fresh has an instant foaming action, which gently agitates dirt and grime away from the surface leaving a fresh Citric Burst fragrance. No one likes a smelly helmet or even body armour come to think of it and with the Foam Fresh's simple use smelling fresh has never been easier. Begin by removing any heavily built up dirt/mud, apply foam to areas to be cleaned. Watch the foam work and leave to soak in, and then wipe off any excess and leave to dry. No one on the trails has an excuse to smell bad now! It has worked wonders on my five year old cross country helmet and the foam dissolved so quickly it was ready to use with in a few hours, plus the citric fragrance is very nice while out on the trails. Their second latest product the Silicone Shine does a lot more than you think it would and is not to be mistaken with their already popular Bike Spray. Different from other polish protection aerosols the Silicone Shine not only repels water but dries completely, leaving a protective, non sticky and ultra shiny layer that will extend the lifetime of your bikes finishes by preventing the build up of dirt and grime. This means that treated parts and surfaces will be easier to maintain and will stay even cleaner in between washes. It can also be used as a friction reducer on your suspension, spray it on your fork stanchions or shock to reduce stick, leaving a smoother sleeker ride. As well it can be used on mud guards or fenders to reduce build up of mud on these wet winter rides. The Silicone Shine is also able to be used on all metals, rubber and plastic parts with no side effects, it is a colourless non staining formula and best of all comes in a cherry pop fragrance! So far I have used it on my frame after cleaning it, like they say it does, it dried instantly and the finish was great, as well as being non-sticky and ultra shiny.
