Cycle Care Formulas

America's Premier Motorcycle Care Brand

When it comes to keeping a motorcycle looking its best, generic car-care products often fall short. Cycle Care Formulas was built on exactly that frustration. Founded in Rogersville, Missouri by dedicated motorcyclists who also happened to be self-described "clean freaks," the company set out to engineer products tuned to the unique surfaces, materials, and road conditions that motorcycle riders face every day. The result is a tightly focused lineup of motorcycle-specific formulas that has earned Cycle Care its reputation as the premium domestic manufacturer in the segment.

Over more than 22 years in the industry, Cycle Care Formulas refined its products through hands-on detailing work at some of the country's most prominent motorcycle rallies and events. That real-world testing ground gave the team direct insight into how chrome, clear-coat paint, spoke wheels, windscreens, and engine finishes respond to road grime, UV exposure, acid rain, and hard-water deposits—and how to address each challenge with purpose-built chemistry. The company's philosophy has always been to blend formulas from the best available materials, prioritizing maximum protection and performance over price-cutting shortcuts.

A Focused, Formula-Driven Product Line

Cycle Care's catalog is deliberately lean and highly specialized. Each product in the lineup is identified by a "Formula" designation, making it easy for riders to build a complete care routine. The flagship motorcycle wax offering—Formula W Spray Wet Wax—can be applied directly to a wet surface right after washing, or to a clean, dry surface, producing a durable high-gloss shine without abrasives or petroleum distillates. It is safe on clear coats, Lexan, Plexiglas, and factory-coated windscreens, making it one of the most versatile products in the line.

Spoke wheels and cast alloy rims attract brake dust, road film, and corrosion that standard cleaners struggle to tackle. Cycle Care's dedicated wheel cleaner—the NEWSPOKE formula—was engineered specifically for motorcycle wheel surfaces and has earned enthusiastic praise from riders dealing with particularly neglected wheels.

Between full detail sessions, the paint detailer and spray cleaner and polish offerings handle quick touch-ups on the road. Formula 33 Spray & Wipe functions as both an instant detailer and a bug remover, removing road tar, residue, and road film from paint, chrome, and windscreens without streaking or harming pin striping or custom murals. It also adds a water-repellent shine and UV protection—handy for touring riders who need a reliable between-wash solution.

Rounding out the lineup are Cycle Care's specialty cleaners, which include products like Formula S—a liquid clay bar designed to remove scratches, scuffs, and swirl marks—and Formula B, a black-and-silver engine enhancer. These targeted solutions address the details that separate a passable clean from a true showroom finish.

Built by Riders, Tested at Rallies

What sets Cycle Care Formulas apart from broader automotive detailing brands is the singular focus on the motorcycle. Every formula in the lineup was developed with two-wheel surfaces in mind, and the brand continues to engage directly with the riding community. For motorcyclists who treat their bike as an investment worth protecting, Cycle Care Formulas offers a proven, systematic approach to keeping every inch of the machine in top condition.
