It will work ok and is an insulator but with wouldn't be my first choice for anything smallish.

I spray it into a container then paint it on with a brush, it goes exactly where you want it and stops any spray wastage.

A shameless plug here. If you're looking for ACF-50 in a bottle with a pump spray we've got loads in stock:

I've never used this stuff but judging by the positive rants by all it's obviously pretty good. I was considering Waxoyl - is it better than this and if so what makes it better?

Used it on my F8 for the last two years, and there's not a spot of corrosion anywhere. Spray on, let it 'set' and ride all winter. Wash it in Spring... maybe.

better than waxoyl have been using it for years

When I ride in the winter month's on returning home I always rinse my bike off and give it the odd spray with wd.
Give it a thorough clean and polish around the middle of November and again at the end of April,never had any corrosion problems.

Waxoil is a different product. It's thick and ugly where acf is just a thin barrier that doesn't change the appearance. Waxoil would work but it isn't coming off easily in the spring.

Acf50 it is then! Does anyone know if BMW recommend it or say anything about the effectiveness of it on their products?

 

[Kintessack GSr]

What does it matter what BMW say. Take our word for it. Buy it and get it on bike. It works, end of

Given that a number of their dealers now offer a winter service pack and/or valet & ACF50 spray job I'd suggest it's acceptable

They sell the stuff at my dealer, that doesn't mean its BMW approved but I would take it from that it isn't disapproved.

Hi

I have used this for the past couple of years [courtesy of AllYearBiker] and can say it works well. This year will be a self-applied year - may well regret that as AYB are bloody excellent]

You do however in my opinion need to rinse the bike - I use a watering can or garden weed killer spray - to rid the salt and then reapply where the water does not beed. You can use very sparingly as the protection properties only require a microscopic film. Too much and you attract dirt. I use the refill spray [just found what I can find the lowest shipped price £32 at http://www.flightstore.co.uk/acf-50-anti-corrosion-1-us-quart.asp for litre and use the same rag to rub down. Your litre should last a winter when used in this way.

I will trey and find some before and after photos.

Is it OK if it gets on the exhaust pipes etc? Will it get burnt onto the shiny chrome?

 

[Lighty]

Got plenty on my exhausts, doent seem to worry it, will post a few pics of the job up later
