Product Information
Full details
The Weldtite Rapid Ceramic Shield is designed for cyclists who prioritize frame maintenance and want to reduce the time spent cleaning their bikes after muddy or wet rides. This product provides a durable, hydrophobic barrier that repels water, mud, oils, and tree sap, making future washing significantly faster. While it offers excellent protective benefits for both matte and gloss finishes, users must be prepared to invest the time for a thorough initial cleaning and application process to ensure proper bonding to the frame.

FAQs
Can I use this on my bike's drivetrain?
No, this product is designed for frame surfaces and finishes, not for chains or mechanical moving parts.
How long does one bottle last?
A 250ml bottle is sufficient for several complete applications, depending on the size of your bike and the amount used per session.
Will this make my matte frame shiny?
No, the formula is designed to protect your finish without altering the aesthetic, meaning matte frames will remain matte.
Do I need to wash the microfibre towels after use?
Yes, wash the towels in warm water without fabric softener to keep them effective for future applications.
How often should I reapply?
Reapplication depends on usage, but typically reapplying every few months or after a very deep 'spring cleaning' session is recommended.
Can it be applied in direct sunlight?
It is best to apply the shield in a shaded, cool area to prevent the product from drying too quickly during the application process.
Troubleshooting
Streaking after application
You likely used too much product. Use a clean, dry portion of the microfibre towel to buff the excess until the surface is clear.
Coating does not repel water
This usually indicates the frame was not clean enough prior to application. Strip the surface with a degreaser, dry thoroughly, and reapply.
Haze remains on the frame
The product may have dried too long. Dampen the microfibre towel slightly to reactivate the residue and buff it off immediately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve optimal results, ensure the bike frame is completely clean, dry, and free of any old wax or polish residues before applying the Rapid Ceramic Shield. Apply a small amount of the liquid to one of the provided microfibre towels and work it into the frame sections using gentle, circular motions. Allow the product to haze slightly before buffing it off with the second, clean microfibre towel. For ongoing care, reapply the shield periodically after deep cleans to maintain the hydrophobic integrity of the coating. This product is compatible with all standard bicycle frame materials, including carbon fiber, aluminum, and steel, as well as their respective clear coats.
