5 min read
One can does it all – and it’s not just the black ‘n’ red team saying so. Those in the know are sharing their best kept secrets so you lot can see how to use GT85 from others in the fan club.
Here’s what they had to say about their favourite formula.
HOW TO USE GT85 WITH CYCLISTS
- “Had a stud stuck in the cylinder head, sprayed with GT85 which loosened and lubricated the removal of the stud!”
- “1 year ago, I stopped using other branded spray lubricants and started my journey with GT85. Not only does it perform better, it’s more durable and less messy. I’m a consistent road cyclist with 110 – 150 miles per week, so when I say GT85 is great – it comes from experience.”
- “Sometimes, after another day on the bike, the last thing you want to do is spent an hour cleaning the drivetrain with a collection of different chemicals and solvents. GT85 is that one and done that saves me so much time, especially in winter!”
- “GT85 is my go to lube for things like chainrings, pedals, headset, cassette and jockey wheels. I do this as it disperses water and protects avoiding rust. Then line my chain with dedicated chain lube or wax and I’m away.”
- “I use on my bikes and wouldn’t use anything else. It’s fast acting and keeps my bikes ticking over. 5 stars.”
HOW TO USE GT85 WITH MECHANICS
- “GT85 is the go to product if you own a motorcycle. It is best suited for use on chains and bearings but levers, nuts, and bolts can benefit also. Use on paintwork leaves a protective layer and is good on small surface scratches. A great product and everyone should have a tin.”
- “GT85 for most aspects of maintenance on bikes whether road, mountain or any other cycle discipline. As a mechanic I use it for a multitude of tasks.”
- “Absolutely superb lubricant use it my vehicle workshop as well as the bike workshop never fails me.”
- “Go to lubricant for bike, motorcycle & bicycle.”
- “I’ve used GT85 since I knew it existed, when I was a bicycle mechanic when I was 15, +24 years on and I’m still using this, it’s the smell, it’s the way it works, it just ticks every box when I use GT-85! It almost acts like a nostalgic air fresher!”
HOW TO USE GT85 WITH DIYERS
- “I use GT85 for all aspects of things in my garage. From lubricating bike chains to 60 year old rotovators. I use it remove rust on tools and I also use in on outside padlocks. Wouldn’t be without this product. So much so, I buy it by the box.”
- “Brilliant product. Good for the kids’ bikes, the car & inside the house.”
- “Great for lubricating garden power tools and preventing rust on power tools.”
- “I have several tins around in the garage in the house and another in the car. It helps me to keep my doors squeak free, helps to clean and shine my UPVC window frames and sills and keeps all my garden and garage tools clean and easy to use. I also have one in my cycle kitbox which is really useful to help keep the kids’ bikes running well when I am cycle training at school. It has a great smell to boot. I wouldn’t be without this wonder product.”
- “GT85 is such a versatile product, use it for locks, car, motorcycle, bike and tools. The smell is amazing too.”
HOW TO USE GT85 WITH TRADIES
- “After using another major product for years, I tried GT85 on a whim! Over thirty years in the motor trade I’m now fully converted! It’s a quality product second to none!”
- “Always keep a can or two of GT85 close to me either in my van or on the workshop shelf. Best product I’ve been using for years. Always does the job. We specialise in boiler repairs, so we use GT85 most days… to be honest it’s a top product in my top 10.”
- “Smells great, smashes the job, use if for everything from door hinges to keeping the tools rust free when they’re sitting in the pouring rain for hours on end.”
- “I have my own business and have used GT85 for as long as I can remember. I buy it by the case and if I haven’t got at least 6 cans on my mobile van workshop I would be worried. I use this product for all sorts of things from lubricating/freeing seized fixings to lubing up shutter doors, curtain tracks and even cleaning my tools. Excellent product, keep up the good work.”
- “I use this on my tools, mountain bikes and pad locks. I am never without a can in my toolbox or workshop.”
