ucts.

utes to corrosion.

your specialist bicycle dealer.

1.
Remove coarse dirt such as earth, stones, sand,
etc. with a gentle stream of water.

simply spraying on and rinsing off after the pre‐
scribed soaking time is sufficient.
Stubborn dirt can be removed after the soaking
time, e.g. with a radiator brush before rinsing.
