Spring is here and the bikes are ready to come out of the garage. But first let's make sure everything is in perfect working order and devote some attention to our beloved 2-wheeler, to show up with a clean and shiny ride!
It's finally here, winter is a memory and spring is starting to warm up the days. Everything is ready to get back on our motorcycles and scooters, but first let's take some time to restore them properly and make them shine again. Even if they have spent the winter in the garage, well protected from rain and cold, our beloved 2-wheelers require a minimum of maintenance and certainly need a cleaning treatment. MAFRA offers a line of products specifically developed to pamper them.
Electrical system
When a motorcycle is idle for a long period of time, it is a good idea to disconnect the battery and, possibly connect it to a battery maintainer, so that it will always be found in perfect working order when it is used. But the electrical system also requires some maintenance before restarting the motorcycle. Cold winter days are often very wet, and this is a problem for electrical contacts, even if the bike has been well kept in the garage. MAFRA recommends always using 5FIVE after a long period of inactivity. It is a synthetic-based lubricant that performs 5 fundamental actions to ensure maximum performance of the electrical system: reactivates, protects, cleans, degreases and lubricates. Sprayed on the various connectors, 5FIVE acts as an unlocking agent, cleaning and lubricating all components, ensuring perfect operation and creating an impermeable barrier that can protect the contacts from water and any other external agent. 5FIVE does not stain or leave halos on treated parts and is respectful of plastic and painted components. With MAFRA's 5FIVE, your motorcycle will be ready to go again at the drop of a hat, even after the long winter layover.
Motorcycle cleaning
We don't want to show up at friends' with a dirty bike, right? Before we let it out of the garage, we offer a nice cleaning treatment to our beloved one. CLEANSHINE by MAFRA is the ideal product to wash and make our 2-wheelers shine again. Just a few sprays are enough to clean any part of the motorcycle or scooter: from the engine to the tank, from the fairings to the rims, from the bodywork to the chain. There is no need to scrub or brush, just spray the product, let it work for a few seconds and then wipe everything off with a powerful jet of water or a dampened cloth. CLEANSHINE is extremely gentle and can be used on any surface, even carbon or aluminum/magnesium alloy components. Its action does not damage the electrical system. With MAFRA's CLEANSHINE, motorcycles or scooters shine like new again, ready to be admired even in the best bars in town.
Protected fairings
After washing the bike, to keep it clean for a long time, it is necessary to subject it to a special beauty treatment, which can provide a powerful anti-static effect. BIKELUX is the ideal solution for keeping your motorcycle always shiny: an innovative product designed to create complete protection for fairing paint. To be used after every wash, BIKELUX guarantees on all treated parts an effective and long-lasting filter that protects them from the action of UVA rays, which is extremely useful, especially in summer, when the motorcycle is most exposed to the action of the sun's rays.
If then, in addition to keeping them clean, we want to have shiny fairings, we at MAFRA recommend BIKEWAX, the special cleaning, polishing and protective wax. It is a neutral, combined-action, solvent- and abrasive-free spray wax capable of giving an immediate shine. Thanks to the exclusive synthetic polymer Polarlite®, MAFRA's new spray wax is able to make even the most dull and aged surfaces shine again, making them perfectly smooth and restoring their original luster.
Shining chrome plating
The chrome plating on a motorcycle, especially if it is a Café Racer, are distinctive elements that must always shine. Precisely for these very important components MAFRA has designed a special kit containing. FLASH BRIGHT and the BOOSTER sponge. These are two products that can make any surface shine again. FLASH BRIGHT is a polishing polish, also used by professionals, that acts quickly and effectively on chrome, steel, brass and alloy surfaces. Easy to apply, this product not only provides a deep and lasting shine on treated parts, but also removes minor scratches and light oxidation.
The special BOOSTER sponge is the ideal working tool to use with MAFRA polish: it is able to safely enhance its performance and polish chrome parts without scratching their surface. Its composition ensures an extraordinary adherence capacity, facilitating the work and enhancing the action of FLASH BRIGHT, for ever-shining chrome.
Lubricated chains
One item that should never be overlooked is the drive chain, which should always be well tensioned and lubricated. Especially after the long winter layover, its condition should be checked and it should be lubricated to ensure its perfect functioning. CHAINROAD is the product MAFRA offers for this treatment: a chain lubricant that is wear-resistant, highly adherent and capable of preventing rust. CHAINROAD is suitable for all kinds of two-wheelers, easy to apply, does not dry out, does not stain the rim and does not drip. Once applied, the product releases a slight red tint, which is useful for checking that the entire chain is perfectly lubricated.
Let's not forget the helmet
The helmet is the faithful companion that protects us every time we use the motorcycle; however, we often do not give it the right attention. Cleaning the visor with specific products is very important to ensure the best visibility in all conditions; but let's not forget about the interior. PULICASCO is MAFRA's special spray designed to keep the inside of the helmet clean and perfectly sanitized. Using it is simple and does not require disassembling individual parts. After spraying the product inside the helmet, simply let the foam act for a few seconds and then remove it with a dry cloth. With just a few simple steps, we will have a perfectly clean, sanitized helmet with a great feeling of freshness, ready to be used for our 2-wheeled jaunts.
