White Lightning
In a refreshingly open way, White Lightning’s presentation here at PressCamp was to say that it had introduced a whole new line of BNG – that is to say, Bold New Graphics. Replacing the current kaleidoscope of coloured bottles of dry lube, wet lube and degreaser is a new none-more-blue graphics range.
New White Lightning Matte Finish Cleaner
However, lurking among those enduro-blue bottles and cans is a new product that will probably immediately appeal to a growing number of bike owners. A cleaning spray specifically designed to clean matte finishes. Usually matte paint jobs either end up a murky, matte brown colour, or they get buffed into a patchy satin shine. This new spray foams up on contact, you leave it for a short while and then just wipe it off with a rag or paper towel and it leaves the surface clean. Neat stuff.
It’s in stock now (you’ll probably find it with its old (ironically) gloss black can) and it’s worth a look if you have a matte frame. Works on gloss ones too apparently. Price is around £9.99 and it’s distributed by Madison.
Auto Glym Car shampoo is great on matte frames as is (only once in a while, when mega clogged up) fairy liquid too. It’s good to see more products coming out for matte though, as I did quite a lot of searching when I bought my bike a couple of years ago.
