Degrease every 500 to 1000km, or sooner in wet and dusty conditions. Spray the cleaner across all 4 sides of the chain, leave it to dwell for 5 minutes, then work it in with a grunge brush. Wipe back with a rag until the chain reads bare metal. Let it flash off for 10 minutes before re-lubing so the lube bonds rather than floats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 400mL aerosol stretches across several full cleans, while a 150mL can suits a single deep clean or a roadside touch-up.
