How to protect your bike: Bike Protector vs. Nano Coating
You may have seen phrases like "protect your bike" or the term nano coating before. But what exactly does it mean, how does it work, and what are the benefits? In this blog, we explain it and show you how easy it is to protect your bike at home.
What exactly is a nano coating?
Let's start at the beginning. A nano coating on your bike is an ultra-thin, invisible protective layer based on nanotechnology that bonds to the frame. This layer strongly repels water, mud, oil and dirt, helping to protect your bike and making it much easier to clean.
The main benefits
- Dirt and water repellent — mud, sand and rainwater are less likely to stick to the surface.
- Easier to clean — dirt adheres less easily, making your bike easier to clean.
- Long-lasting protection — the coating forms a protective layer on the surface of your bike.
- Suitable for different materials — suitable for use on surfaces including paint, carbon and metal components.

How do you apply it?
Bike Protector — quick protection after cleaning

- Dry your bike.
- Apply Bike Protector to the frame and the surfaces you want to treat.
- Spread the product and polish the surface with a clean, soft cloth.
- Done! You leave behind a protective, dirt-repellent layer and a well-maintained shine.
Nano Bike Coating — the more thorough treatment
Preparation is slightly more important when using the Nano Bike Coating Kit. Your bike must first be thoroughly cleaned and completely dry. Then apply the coating evenly to the surface and polish it with the supplied cloth.
Leave the coating to dry for approximately 15 minutes. Your bike will then have a dirt- and water-repellent protective layer that provides protection for up to 6–9 months.
