Carbon road bike cleaning
Hi guys I recently purchased a BMC time machine road 01 bike. It’s a very beautiful bike in a white Matte color. I picked this bike up yesterday and took it on it’s first ride today. Relatively clean roads and no rain today. When I got back home the frame was completely dirty with black smudges everywhere. I quickly tried to wipe it down with some dish soap and a wet cloth but it barely removed any of those grease smudges. If I had known this color was such a nightmare to clean I wouldn’t have purchased it !!
Anyway to make a long story short , does anyone have Matte colors or even Matte white carbon frames ? How do you clean them ? Safe to use degreaser? Then finish with a Matt cleaner ?
I can’t upload any images because I am new here but it looks bad after just 1 day or riding! And it didn’t even rain!! I don’t want to become a Slave to cleaning this daily with a full soap/ degreaser wash. Any tips out there ?!
Thank you
