Bikes face tough challenges—muddy trails, rainy commutes, and everything in between. Regular cleaning is crucial to keeping your bike looking sharp, performing flawlessly, and lasting longer. With Gtechniq’s expertly crafted bike cleaning products, achieving a professional-level clean has never been more straightforward or effective.
Whether you’re a detailing expert, an avid cyclist, or someone who loves their two-wheeler, this guide shows how to quickly and precisely transform your bike cleaning routine using Gtechniq’s specialised solutions.
Why Cleaning Your Bike is Essential
With a staggering 60% increase in cycling across the UK between 2019 and 2020, bike care has become more critical than ever. A quick hose down can remove surface dirt, but built-up grime and grease demand a deeper clean to keep your bike functioning at its best.
Gtechniq offers a range of cleaning products specifically designed to remove stubborn dirt, grease, and oil while protecting your bike’s finish—going beyond aesthetics to ensure peak performance.

Essential Tools for the Job
The right tools make all the difference for outstanding results. Gtechniq’s Bike Clean and Bike Wash formulas are a perfect starting point. These powerful solutions effectively tackle dirt and grease without damaging delicate finishes. Formulated with natural citrus oils, they make removing stubborn grime a breeze while being gentle on your bike.
Step-by-Step Guide to Cleaning Your Bike
Follow these straightforward steps to give your bike a professional clean:
1. Rinse Your Bike
Start by spraying your bike with cold or lukewarm water to loosen and remove loose dirt and debris.
2. Apply Bike Clean or Bike Wash
Shake the formula well and spray generously on all parts of your bike, focusing on the frame and components. Allow it to sit for approximately 5 minutes to break down dirt and grease.
3. Scrub Tough Areas
Use a detailing brush or a Gtechniq Microfibre Wash Mitt to scrub stubborn spots for a deep clean without scratches gently.
4. Rinse Thoroughly
Rinse off the cleaning solution with water, ensuring all residue is removed.
5. Dry and Polish
Use a high-quality microfibre towel to completely dry your bike, leaving it with a pristine, polished finish.
This process not only cleans your bike to a professional standard but also protects its components for lasting performance.
Taking Your Cleaning to the Next Level
Regular use means your bike’s drivetrain, including the chain and cassette, will inevitably accumulate grease and grime. Gtechniq’s Drivetrain Degreaser is specifically designed to keep these critical components clean and running smoothly.
Here’s how to maintain your drivetrain like a pro:
- Apply the degreaser straight on to the chain and other drivetrain components.
- Gently scrub with a detailing brush to remove built-up grease.
- Rinse thoroughly, and your drivetrain will be restored to smooth, efficient operation.
