I've just got hold of an On One 456 Carbon frame that I've been wanting for ages. I've never had any carbon bits before so I was just wondering "what's the best way to clean it?" Is there any special products or can I just use the normal muck-off type of thing?
Cheers
Steve

I've used combination's of water/detergent, Muc off and Halfords equivalent on my carbon road porn for several years. No problems.

I have a 10 year old carbon Scott that has been cleaned with anything from Muc-off to plain water to patio cleaner to 'left in the dry until the mud falls off' and it hasn't broken through washing yet.

I do like the post above - leave till the mud falls off 🙂 I have used car cleaner / wax in the past with good results.
