Clean Ride sets like a film of dry wax. There's no oily film to attract abrasive contaminants, so your chain and gears will perform better and last 2-3 times longer.
Clean Ride's self-cleaning action is activated by any dirt, grit or grime that gets on your chain or parts.
Small particles of the outer wax structure will flake off, taking dirt, grime or sand with them. This begins the “self-cleaning” cycle.
Clean Ride is a unique wax-based lubricant, so it's important to start with a clean chain.
For optimal "self-cleaning" performance, do not mix Clean Ride with oil-based lubricants.
The dirtier the pipe, the more active the shedding action. So, to that extent, Clean Ride will require more frequent reapplication after dirtier rides.
When Clean Ride is used consistently and correctly, you will rarely have to clean your chain again.
So while your friends are cleaning their chains, you'll apply a fresh dose of Clean Ride and off you go for another great ride!
