Saw in a shop and have used on my forks - seems great. Makes them really smooth.
When I tried to look into whether it was good for the fork seals etc couldn't find anything on the internet regarding people using it for bikes. Just lots of people using it to clean their car dashboards.
Do people use it? Is it harmmful in any way for the forks?
Cheers go any responses.
Bump for the morning crowd.
Is no one using it?
this stuff?

BENEFITS
Protects and leaves a sparkling shine on metal, plastic & rubber parts.
[b]Reduces friction on fork stanchions and rear shocks[/b]
Silicon formula prevents grime build up on treated surfaces
Cuts down on future cleaning and maintenance
I've never been impressed with Muc-Off stuff apart from their chain oil.
Yes...it genuinely makes them smooth. Spray it on and it's like they've come back from TF Tuned...
.
But no one seems to use it...bit odd if it is genuinely good.
My issue is I wonder if I still need to treat fork seals as I normally would when cleaning, or if this is good enough as an overall fork cleaning/maintenance substance.
yep i use it fairly often on fork stanchions and shock shaft as well as reverb. Seals have been fine
I used to use 'Juice Lubes Fork Juice Suspension Lube' on Fox forks and shocks to make them plusher. More effective than the 'push' tune I wasted my money on!
i like it.
Its expensive.
it doesn't seem to attract shit like oil does.
I use generic silicone spray on forks and shocks, I think it really helps keep them in good nick, makes dirt less likely to get pulled through the seals and keeps the stanchions well lubed.
Same here, just use generic silicon plumbers spray works a charm on forks & reverb.
No issues ever.
wonder how it compares to [url= http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/no-4-suspension-lube-any-good ]this stuff[/url] that I asked about the other day..
Used the Juice Lubes and currently on the Muc-off stuff. The Juice Lubes [i]seemed[/i] to go on better and last longer. But the Muc-Off smells nicer - though my can has started to dribble while applying, which is annoying.
Great - cheers for the replies.
Used to polish mine with Wurth silicone spray. Pretty much same shit cheaper price.
When the last can of Wurth stuff ran out I got Juice Lubes fork juice as it was on 2 for 1. There's nothing to make me suspect it's anything other than Silicone Spray in a fancy can.
I spray onto a cloth and polish the stanchions rather than spray the seals, always wary of dribbling solvent based sprays into the seals.
