New salt-busting treatment from XCP removes the harmful deposits that normal washing leaves behind.
Few substances are more damaging to a motorcycle than salt and UK road grit is typically more than 90% sodium chloride (salt). The trouble is that while rinsing with water dissolves it temporarily, the real damage begins when that water evaporates – leaving sharp salt crystals lodged in seams, fasteners, and hard-to-reach places.
Because salt is hygroscopic, these crystals actively attract and hold moisture from the air, creating the perfect corrosive environment that quietly attacks paint and metalwork. The inevitable result: rust, damaged components, costly repairs, and a serious hit to your bike’s value.
Plus, you don’t have to be braving the winter commute every day for salt to find its way onto your bike; it can remain on the road surface for months after being applied, needing persistent heavy rainfall to wash it all away.
XCP® Salt Remover tackles the problem head-on. Formulated to dissolve and remove salt deposits that ordinary cleaning misses, it’s the smart first step in any winter maintenance routine – whether you’re riding year-round or storing the bike until Spring returns. 
It does this by reducing the natural surface tension that causes water to bead, allowing the solution to spread more evenly across the bike. This improved coverage and run-off means salt is dissolved and carried away more effectively than with water alone.
Simply treat the relevant area directly with a uniform spray of the liquid. Allow the product to work for a few minutes and rinse thoroughly with water.
It’s pH neutral, biodegradable, and safe to use on all surfaces, so can be applied to bodywork, engine cases, brakes, wheels, or anywhere salt can creep in. It also makes corrosion blockers more effective, giving them clean, salt-free surfaces to work with.
Made in Scotland, XCP Salt Remover comes as a convenient spray or a concentrate (used at 5%-15% dilution) for larger applications. The one litre spray bottle retails at £9.99 (Inc VAT) and a litre bottle of concentrate sells for £19.99 Including VAT.
