How to Keep Your Motorcycle Looking Like New!

Let’s get one thing straight: your bike isn’t just transport — it’s your weapon, your pride, your dirty little obsession. And if you're gonna thrash it, you better know how to look after it. Keeping it mint isn’t about being precious — it’s about showing your ride the respect it’s earned.

At Muc-Off, we don’t mess about. Our Clean, Protect & Lube process is built for riders who send it full throttle but still want that head-turning shine. Wanna go full beast mode? Slap on our Ceramic Protection — it’ll lock in those badass looks for up to 2 years. Ride hard, stay fresh.

STEP 1: CLEAN - STRIP THE FILTH. NO MERCY.

Gear up with:

Cleaner: Muc-Off Nano Tech Motorcycle Cleaner / Snow Foam
Chain Degreaser: Chain Cleaner or Powersports Drivetrain Cleaner
Motorcycle Pressure Washer
Other stuff: Brushes, sponge, wash mitt, dirt bucket

The drill:

Step 1 - Start by nuking the drivetrain with degreaser.
Step 2 - Pre-rinse — blast off the loose crap (drivetrain too).
Step 3 - Drench your machine in Nano Tech Cleaner or Snow Foam — go wild.
Step 4 - Let it sit for a few while the grime-melting sorcery does its thing.
Step 5 - Scrub the stubborn gunk with a brush, sponge, or mitt — whatever gets the job done (without scratching!)
Step 6 - Final rinse. Step back. Admire the filth you just evicted.

STEP 2: PROTECT - LOCK IN THAT SHINE. ARMOUR UP AGAINST RUST.

Gear Up With:

MO94, Motorcycle Protectant or HCB-1
Microfibre cloth (or your best band tee — just kidding. Maybe.)

How to do it:

Step 1 - While your ride’s still slightly damp, mist on Motorcycle Protectant to drive out moisture and fend off the funk.
Step 2 - Riding through hell and back? Reach for HCB-1 — hardcore anti-rust for hardcore riders.
Step 3 - Wipe it down. Buff it up. Make it gleam like a punk’s boots on parade.
This isn’t just for show — this is your bike’s body armour and protection against corrosion.

STEP 3: LUBE - SMOOTH CHAINS. NO CHAFING.

Get your hands on:

Muc-Off Chain Lube — Wet, Dry, All-Weather or Off-Road (pick your poison)

Lube up:

Step 1 - Make sure that chain’s bone dry.
Step 2 - Apply lube evenly while spinning the rear wheel — smooth and slow.
Step 3 - Let it soak in, then wipe off the excess. Sticky messes belong elsewhere.
Chains need love too. Do it right, and they’ll run quiet, fast, and live longer.

CERAMIC PROTECTION - SHOWROOM SHINE. STREET CRED. STAY POWER.

This ain’t wax. It’s high-tech armour that bonds on a molecular level. Translation? Killer gloss, dirt-repelling finish, and protection that lasts up to 2 years. Even if you’re riding through sandstorms or mosh pits.

How to boss it:

Step 1 - Make sure your ride is clean, dry, and ready to flex.
Step 2 - Apply the coating evenly.
Step 3 - Let it cure. Then buff it until your reflection gives you the thumbs up.
Now back off and admire that glassy, water-hating, apocalypse-ready finish.

FINAL WORD

You don’t baby your bike — you ride it like you mean it. But that doesn’t mean it should look like it’s been dragged through a hedge backwards. With Muc-Off’s Clean, Protect & Lube process you’ll keep your ride lookin' brand spankers.
