Xtream Clean MX/ATV
Cleaner and Mud Guard
Some new products arrived at the E.D. office today and somehow
found their way to my desk. Since I am maniacal about keeping
my bikes clean, it made perfect sense that I would wind up with
it, this product is right up my alley. Xtream Clean MX/ ATV Wash
and XTC Mud Guard (spelled without the E) is a biodegradable,
non-caustic spray designed to cut through tough stains and spots,
mud, dirt, grease, sand, and general grime.
I strolled down to the E.D. garage to see if I could find a dirty
enough bike to try this stuff out, nothing. Well, you don’t
have to ask me twice to go out and get a bike dirty and lucky
for us it had just rained all day the day before. Off I went to
play in the mud for a while. Back at the ED garage, following
the XTC directions, I rinsed off all the large bits of dirt and
applied a healthy coating of the spray, just over a third of the
bottle. Then sat back to enjoy a cup of coffee while Xtream Clean
got its hands dirty. After 5 minutes of soaking I rinsed the bike
and to my surprise it was clean! Not perfectly clean but pretty
good considering the amount of effort I put into it. After a second
application in a few key areas it was immaculate. No scrubbing
the hubs and it gets into all the tight parts on the motor too.
You will still have to clean your chain using something more aggressive
(the E.D. method) we found Xtream Clean just isn’t strong
enough to break down the gunk on your chain. After the cleaning
process is complete Xtream Clean suggests following up with their
XTC Mud Guard spray which is designed to make cleaning even easier
by creating a barrier between your bikes parts and dirt.

You simply spray the entire
bike and wipe dry with a clean towel.
What we like:
Anything that makes cleaning our bikes easier is always welcome
and Xtream Clean does this, very well. As a bonus XTC removed
all the gunk/ discoloration at the edges of our graphics kit
What we don’t like:
Going to the E.D. garage to wash a bike and finding an empty bottle.
