Ride Mechanic Zalish Surface Active Cleaner

ZALISH. Highly effective 'surface active' product for cleaning and coating surfaces to leave a protective film.

When a surface is first painted the surface is relatively smooth and uniform and like a smooth mirror, the paint reflects maximum light. As soon as a new bike is moved around and ridden the surface becomes scoured. Thousands of small scratches are ground into the surface and after more riding it is attacked by water, pollution in road grime, trail dirt and mud, sweat, electrolytes etc. Transporting, storage, falls and other impacts cause more damage to paintwork and appearance. Furthermore, paint coatings can age, become brittle and lose their chip resistance. All of this causes paint defects where areas of paint have been removed creating a rough surface. More serious deep damage which breaks through the paint can weaken a frame. Over time the once super smooth surface now looks rough under a microscope. The uniform surface that reflected light perfectly becomes uneven and light scatters in different directions. The paint no longer looks as glossy and is not as effective at protecting the material underneath.

ZALISH is a surface active product for cleaning and coating surfaces to leave a protective film.

Spray ZALISH directly onto a clean rag and the cleaning components in the product wipe away light dirt and grime. To more effectively protect the surface just wipe it over with ZALISH until damp then leave to allow the formulation ingredients to create chemical bonds directly with the host surface. This provides superior adhesion without the need for abrasive priming and extensive site preparation and can also be buffed to an immaculate shine. The coating which ZALISH forms over the surface is hydrophobic with low critical surface tension and water tends to bead on the surface assisting with future cleaning.

ZALISH is biodegradable and suitable for use on most outdoor materials and finishes including carbon fiber and rubber.
