- Shake bottle very well before use.
- Apply one drop of chain wax to each link, starting at the quick link. Complete 2 full laps of the chain.
- Slowly run through the gears, coating each cog on the cassette.
- Leave to dry for AT LEAST 12 hours before riding, ideally 24 hours in cooler climates for best results.
- When riding in dry conditions, once the wax has worn off and the chain starts becoming louder, simply wipe down with a microfibre cloth and re-apply. When riding in wet conditions, clean and re-lube immediately after riding to maintain peak performance.
- Storage: Store in a cool dry place, out of direct sunlight or a direct heat source. in a temperature range of 5-30 degrees Celsius. Do not allow to freeze.
