Product Information
Full details
Finish Line Ceramic Wax is designed for cyclists who prioritize a clean, silent drivetrain and want to minimize time spent on maintenance. By utilizing nano-sized platelets of ceramic boron nitride and micron-sized fluoropolymer particles, it creates a durable, non-stick coating that significantly reduces friction and wear. While it excels at keeping your chain free from grime and sticky residue, it requires more frequent application compared to traditional heavy-duty wet lubricants to maintain its peak performance.

FAQs
How often should I re-apply Finish Line Ceramic Wax?
For optimal results, re-apply the wax every 50-75 miles.
Do I need to wash my bike every time I re-apply?
No. One of the main benefits of this wax is that it stays clean, so you generally only need to wipe the chain with a dry cloth before applying more.
Can I use this for mountain biking in the mud?
It is not recommended for muddy or wet conditions, as the wax coating is designed primarily for dry, dusty, or clean road environments.
Do I need to remove my old lubricant before using this?
Yes. You must remove all traces of oil-based lubricants using a degreaser for the Ceramic Wax to adhere correctly to the metal.
What is in the lubricant?
It contains nano-sized platelets of ceramic boron nitride and micron-sized particles of fluoropolymer.
Troubleshooting
The chain feels gritty or noisy quickly
You may have exceeded the recommended 50-75 mile re-application interval or the chain was not fully clean before the initial application.
Wax is building up on the pulleys
Reduce the amount of lubricant applied per session; only a light coating on the rollers is necessary.
The lubricant is not staying on the chain
Ensure the chain is completely free of water or other solvents before applying, as moisture prevents the wax from bonding properly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best results, it is essential to start with a "factory clean" chain. Use a high-quality solvent or degreaser to strip all old oil and grease from the drivetrain before applying the Ceramic Wax for the first time. Apply the wax to the rollers of the chain while back-pedaling, ensuring thorough coverage. Allow the wax to dry completely—ideally overnight or for several hours—before riding to let the carrier fluid evaporate. During ongoing maintenance, you do not need to perform heavy cleanings; simply wipe the chain with a dry cloth and re-apply a fresh layer of wax as needed, typically every 50-75 miles.
