Maxima Clean-Up Chain Cleaner - 15.5 oz Aerosol | Heavy-Duty Chain Cleaner for Aluminum & O-Rings

Maxima Clean-Up Chain Cleaner: Powerful, Convenient Chain Hygiene

Maxima Clean-Up is a heavy-duty, emulsion-type cleaner designed to thoroughly clean bicycle chains without harming rubber O-rings or metal surfaces. It delivers strong performance on aluminum components, helping you maintain smooth shifting and quiet operation as part of a regular maintenance routine. The aerosol format makes application quick and controlled, so you can target grime on tough-to-clean links and sprockets with minimal effort.

When you spray Clean-Up on, it begins to work on contact, loosening built-up grease, grime, and residue. You can let the formulation sit for about a minute, then rinse away the dirt with a strong stream of water. The cleaner is designed to dissolve and remove stubborn buildup efficiently, reducing the need for aggressive scrubbing and helping you keep your drivetrain in good condition between services.

Real-world use often includes riding in wet or dusty conditions, where chains collect grime quickly. Clean-Up’s emulsion base helps lift and suspend contaminants, making rinsing straightforward and thorough. This can translate to easier maintenance sessions and a cleaner drivetrain that looks and feels smoother on the trail or road.

As with any cleaner, there are safety and care considerations to keep in mind. CAUTION: May discolor some painted surfaces. Do not use on clear plastic or Lexan windshields. The formulation is flammable, so store away from heat sources and open flames. For best results, incorporate Clean-Up into your routine maintenance, pairing it with a regular lubrication plan for ongoing chain health.
