So he set about producing his own &#8211; initially getting his head around surfactants (Surface Active Agents) and how they worked. At this time most riders were washing their bikes with washing-up liquid which contains a lot of salt which was corrosive, so not ideal for washing bikes. Rex realised his cleaner had to be eco-friendly, effective at cleaning and not detrimental to any finishes on a range of component materials. It was 1994, Rex had perfected his formula, the cleaner was pink and was ready for market. Muc-Off&#8217;s first product was born.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.merlincycles.com\/muc-off-v2-tubeless-valve-kit-229917.html\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"470\" height=\"470\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.merlincycles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/110405_muc_off_v2_tubeless_valve_kit.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35990 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 470px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 470\/470;\" \/><\/a><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/www.merlincycles.com\/muc-off-v2-tubeless-valve-kit-229917.html\">V2 Tubeless Valve Kit<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Broader Appeal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>From MTB cleaner, Muc-Off moved into motorcross bike cleaner and a full range of motorcycle cleaner launched in 2000. Three years later and the next Muc-Off challenge saw them move from 2 wheels to four. They launched their Car Care products in 2003. From bike cleaning products, they then moved into producing biodegradable and eco-friendly chain lube products in 2008. As the brand pushed forward across several markets, they started sponsorship of Formula 1 with the Sahara Force India Team. In 2013 they pushed out from the UK market into many areas of the world. Taking on the world was pushed further with sponsorship of Team Sky Professional Cycling Team in 2014.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.merlincycles.com\/muc-off-ultimate-tubeless-set-up-kit-169132.html\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"470\" height=\"470\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.merlincycles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/66643_muc_off_ultimate_tubeless_set_up_kit.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35991 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 470px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 470\/470;\" \/><\/a><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/www.merlincycles.com\/muc-off-ultimate-tubeless-set-up-kit-169132.html\">Tubeless Set-Up Kit<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lovely Lube<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although Muc-Off started in cleaning products, it&#8217;s lubrication range, from its launch in 2008, developed strongly to cover all types of riding.
