Duck Smart ‘mud slider’

Another of the flurry of afterwash sprays which claim to make cleaning your bike easier. This one works as well as others do. That’s not intended to be insincere, but this type of product is now well established on bike shop shelves.

It’s simple to use. Clean your bike thoroughly, but DO NOT dry it. Whilst wet spray the Duck Smart onto the frame. Make sure you cover it well and leave to dry. It will dry with no streaks and the next time you come to wash your bike the mud will slide off. Well, maybe not slide off, but from experience it does make the bike easier to clean so does what it says on the label.

The only downside to this particular Duck Smart brand is that once the bike is dry it leaves the paintwork dull and any scratches or blemishes stand out as a result.

Another product I reviewed last year (Pro Green Aftershine 101) does virtually the same job, but leaves a shiny gloss finish on the paintwork. Both Duck Smart and Aftershine offer similar results, but having used them both I prefer the Pro Green Aftershine 101 because if the gloss finish it leaves.
