Washing your bike removes the dirt, but it also strips away whatever protective film was keeping moisture off the metal surfaces underneath. If you towel off and call it done, water sitting in cable ferrules, pivot bearings, and drivetrain crevices starts working on corrosion immediately. Muc-Off Bike Protect addresses that gap — it's a water-displacing spray that pushes moisture out of tight spaces and leaves a protective barrier behind.

The formula has an unusually high oil content compared to typical detailer sprays, which is what gives it the water-displacement properties. Spray it across the frame, drivetrain, and components after washing, and you'll see water bead up and roll off surfaces that were holding moisture moments before. The protective layer that remains is non-sticky, so it won't attract dust and dirt the way an overly oily film would. You get corrosion protection without creating a magnet for new contamination.

Material compatibility is broad. Bike Protect works on painted surfaces, carbon fiber, anodized aluminum, plastics, rubber, and bare metal. It's safe on fork stanchions and shock bodies, though Muc-Off recommends their silicone-based Silicon Shine for suspension components where you want to keep seals hydrated. For glossy frames and metal parts, Bike Protect adds a subtle shine while creating the protective barrier.... Read More
