Go Mountain Mayhem Wash Bay - Now with added Mud Slider!

Yep its that time of year, where we pack our sleeping bags, ovaltine, some pressure washers, some cleaning gubbins and our Cycle Wash bays and rock up to Mountain Mayhem to deliver our 24 Hour Wash Bay service to the masses.

Below is the Blurb that was fired out to the Mayhemers!

After hauling our wares up and down the British Isles over the last three years, the Duck Smart Wash Bay crew are well versed in ensuring riders leave events cleaner than what they arrived.

Now through a twist of fate and a trigger spray full of luck, the 24 Hour Wash Bay facilities at this year’s Go Outdoors Mountain Mayhem will be helping you to not get quite as dirty in the first place.  

Yep our Mud Slider aftercare product, which was created as a Water dispersant and mud sticking stopper for                                     Motocross, has been discovered by some filthy little urchins to be a dab hand at reducing the build-up of mud, dirt and grime on Mountain bikes.  These urchins have had some influence, as now Mud Slider is being used by all and sundry for that very same purpose throughout the industry.  

Not only does it stop the dirt from sticking it means next time you come to clean your ride its tons easier.

Now here’s why we like it... as it makes cleaning easier next time round, we figure that when you tired rider folk drop by the wash bay in the early hours of the morn and wake us from our slumbers; 1 your bike will be lighter for us to lift, and 2 it won’t take half as long for us to clean, giving us more nap time.  Everyone’s a winner.

So on that note, we encourage all you fair Mayhem folk to come visit us, this time, before your ride to apply some Mud Slider. Then after your stint, to clean up with some of our Foaming Earth Mover Bike Cleaner.

For more information on us, and our range of PH Neutral and great smelling cleaning products visit www.duck-smart.com or search for us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram... as, yeah you got it ducksmart.

Seeya there for the Mayhem!

THE MOTORCYCLE CLEAN, PREEN & SHEEN POWER TEAM!

Its's been a long time coming but our famous duo of our Foaming Earth Mover Bike Cleaner and the versatile Detailer/Polish/drywash Smart n Ezee have been paired together in our latest combo offer.

This couple go back a long way, even before the times of Mud Slider and work awesome as a Wash, polish & protect combination, and like our other offers they are going out together with a Micro Fibre cloth for just £16 inc Postage and Packaging.

This duo is awesome for Road Motorcycles but does the trick on Offroaders too.

Start off by rinsing off any loose dirt and grime with clean water, a brush or sponge. Then apply a bit of Earth Mover foaming power by spraying the purple stuff onto your bike using the unique foaming nozzle. Use a damp clean sponge to agitate any further dirty areas and foam the whole machine getting into all of the tricky areas, over spokes......... (Earth Mover contains Aluminium Brighteners so great on wheels and any other metallic surfaces, bringing them back to new within 3 or 4 cleans) The foamier the better as this gives the Earth Mover a better contact time with the dirt, breaking it down in front of your very eyes. Next up rinse the bike with water again.

Now its time to bring out the Smart N Ezee. Lightly spray the product over the area you want to Polish/detail and rub it in with a Micro Fibre cloth. Don't get too heavy handed though as you won't need too much to bring out an awesome natural shine on your bike. As well as shining up your bike it also leaves a water repelling protective coat which means your bike is not only protected from the elements but will also be easier to clean next time round.

Smart N Ezee can also be used as a dry wash if your bike isnt that dirty, and as before its as simple as spray on and wipe over with a Micro Fibre cloth. In fact Smart N Ezee does so much shizzle I could be here all day listing all what it does but here's a few suggestions for starters.

Its great for cleaning your Helmet, or as a water repelling Visor clean, superb for Matt black finishes, stainless steel, titanium, carbon fibre, dashboards, showers, chrome, mirrors and especially on windscreens as any rain water beads off.

So get your hands on this tidy little offer as it is only available for a limited time!

All of our Bike and Car Cleaners Made in Britain & proud of it!

We have been featured in this months Bike Biz magazine which focusses on those brands that are "Made in Britain".  We are very proud that this is the case for us, and in fact we do pretty much everything in house from bottling, labelling, mixing, and creating all of our own products, which also means we have the flexibility to always be growing our product range to fit the needs of all you challenging bunch of dudes, and the extreme conditions you throw yourself and your wheels through.

Here's the full article, which may also enlighten you more about us and how we roll!

Duck Smart, Made in Britain and Proud of it!

Duck Smart is a relatively new company in terms of cleaning products for the cycle market, but as a team they have been manufacturing and creating their own products for the commercial sector for over twenty years.

Through the companies owner Gary Bennett, and chief Chemist Graham Wood, for the Duck Smart range of products they have diverted away from their commercial roots and created a range of PH Neutral, foaming, non caustic cleaners which has certainly got the industry talking both for the effectiveness of the products, and the sweet smells used in them. On top of all of this they proudly stake claim to the fact that all of their products are manufactured in the UK at their headquarters in Benfleet in Essex by themselves.

Gary tells us more “For us its a natural thing for us to create all of our products in house as that is what we have always done. As well as this, we purchase all of the other materials, like boxes, bottles and labels all from local suppliers within a 20 mile radius, in fact quite a lot of what we use is bought using the other companies on the Trading Estate where we are based”.

“Because we manufacture everything ourselves it means that we can play around with colors, smells, different types of products, and raw materials so we can continually develop and improve our range. We have 3 or 4 new products pretty much ready to be launched and another 3 we are working on now. We like to always work with our teams, riders and dealers when we develop new products, so that we get honest feedback from all types of people and then we amend the products from there. Making everything in house means this process is a lot quicker and easier than outsourcing it, and also most outsourced products are ready made formulas with just a few things changed. I suppose some of our disadvantages are also our advantages in some respects. Graham our chemist likes everything to be perfect and more importantly safe for both the consumer and the bike, and as much as we can environmentally friendly, but this also means that our products contain more raw materials and elements to them. For instance our Foaming Earth Mover Bike Cleaner is a truly unique product which took two years to develop, and is made up of Softeners and detergents and contains 10 raw materials so this means it is more expensive to produce than the more common Hard surface cleaner based products which can be sourced from outside of the UK and can be watered down and very cheap. So I suppose our disadvantage is cost, but that is also an advantage to our customers who receive a product that they know they can trust on their bike and components, and has been thoroughly tested by experts in the UK. Again some of the bottles and containers we used could be purchased from abroad for cheaper but we have always work well with our current provider who sell us bottles made from recycled plastics so it is something we would not like to compromise on if we can help it. Being local they also help us out with smaller quantities if we are running short so it means our turn around is a lot quicker and means less space is taken with storage as if you purchased abroad you have to buy larger quantities”.

The innovative team at Duck Smart are always working hard to develop the next range of cleaners and with much of their Marketing being based around wash bays and letting people try their products. With their hands on, friendly approach we are sure you will be finding out about their products for yourself very soon, all of which are proudly stamped with Made in Britain on them.

This combo covers you in two ways. If your bike is literally caked in it, you can go all out Foam with the Earth Mover. First up, rinse and brush off any loose and clumpy mud with water and a brush. Then apply Earth Mover all over your bike using the foam nozzle. Use a damp sponge to agigate any dirt, and foam your bike the whole way through. The foamier the better as this gives the Earth Mover a better contact time with the dirt, breaking it down in front of your very eyes. Next up rinse the bike with water again.

You can now apply Bike Ezee by applying a light spray on the area you want to polish up and rub it in with the Micro Fibre cloth. Bike Ezee will give your bike a long lasting natural shine and a water repelling protective coating making your bike easier to clean next time round.

In this instance you are in safe hands with Bike Ezee as a lone wolf as it also works as a Dry Wash/Waterless cleaner....... It's as simple as spray lightly on the bike, and wipe with the Micro Fibre cloth which will collect the dirt, while the product lays itself over your bike parts giving it that shine and protection.

Skyzone going for a British title clean sweep with new sponsors Duck Smart!

The British Championship winning Skyzone Supermoto race team will be lining up at the start grid with a new sponsor for 2014 in the forward thinking and creative team at Duck Smart cleaning products.

Chris Hodgson - Title winner

The people at Duck Smart are new to the Supermoto scene but are keen to support both, the Skyzone race team and the sport itself and showcase their innovative, foaming and sweet smelling range of cleaning products, including the now famous Earth Mover Bike Cleaner which have made such a huge impact in the Motocross scene in the last couple of years. All of their products are bottled, labeled and produced in house at their HQ in Benfleet, Essex and with their own chemist constantly working on new products the range doesn't look to stop growing anytime soon.

Duck Smart's Paul Oughton tells us more “We looked at the sport of Supermoto last year, and towards the end of 2013 we were approached by Chris Hodgson about doing something with his team. We were impressed by Chris and his professional approach. Alongside that we have followed the great TV Coverage of the British Championships, which really reflects the speed and skill of these guys, and one thing is for certain they don't like to back off when it gets tight. The team at Duck Smart are really looking forward to showcasing our range of products and creative approach on the bikes of the Sky zone race team. We are quite a hands on team so are also pumped to be working with Chris as he goes for another British Title and we look forward to working with the team to ensure their machines are immaculately presented at the race track and to further develop our product range with them.

Tom Ellam, one to watch

The sky zone race team will be running a 3 man team of current British Champion Chris Hodgson and Jay Smith on the KTM SMR 450 with young Tom Ellam on the KTM SMR 350.

They will be competing in the 9 round British championship, as well as looking to fly the flag for Great Britain in the European rounds.

Hodgson said of the forthcoming season and the partnership “I am really looking forward to the season. We have set our sights high and hopefully everything goes to plan. Its a real privilege to have the guys from Duck Smart on board and we look forward to working with them throughout the season.”
