ACF-50

[terayon]

F365 is supposed to be sprayed on everytime you wash the bike or it rains as it is water based.
ACF-50 is supposed to be a spray on once a year jobbie. but as said before is was designed for aircraft, to stop them from rusting.....
I normally apply it to all the critical areas that are prone to rust every three months, it doesn't come off when you wash normally.

This sounds like just what I need to protect my bike from salt on my winter commute.
How do you remove ACF-50 in the spring when the bike is completely gunged up?
Or do you just give the bike a good clean and apply more ACF-50?

degreaser, then a hose down.


i use the orange stuff from hein gerike, but not very often

Wash the beak, tank and cockpit area as you would normaly. Forget about the rest of the bike until a good spring clean with a few hours and some degreaser.

Great stuff, if a little messy

I have been selling ACF-50 and its sister product Corrosion Block grease for 6 years now.
Most of my customers are come back customers which shows it really does do a damned fine job. ACF-50 info page

Just coated mine in ACF50, that's the washing done & dusted until April '08

My Nov 03 1150 has done four winters now. 37,000 miles. I've used the Scottoiler spray almost every time I ride it in the winter.

It's rotting like a carrot, paint peeling off the engine, gearbox etc., all over the place.

I do work on the same street as the roads depot so in winter every trip to and from the office is on a salt track, sometimes so thick that you can't see the tarmac.

Think I'll try ACF50 and see if that really does kill the corrosion like it claims.

Re-apply it every 3 months to the whole of the bike and every month to the small/corrodable areas. The ACF-50 is designed to stay on even after washing, but it was designed for airplanes and they don't get the road salt that we get.

Do you mean the whole of the bike - including paint, engine finning etc etc? I've just ordered up a batch of acf 50 to prep for winter but I've previously only applied it to "vulnerable" areas.


thanks

I got the litre bottle with spray bottle . A little goes a long way . Using on a 95 ,still looks great ,use it just in case i get the longing to go for winter run . Its nice to know you have done it . It is hard enough to get off in spring , Rims and spokes look rough till you clean them but with little effort the back to normal . Litre will last for years .

spray it everywhere except the brakes, use a paint brush to apply to the nuts and bolts around the calipers

Put some on the seat, for that hang off, moto GP look (NOT!)

I wasn't carefull enough a few years ago and if it stops corrosion as well is it reduces friction, then its brilliant stuff. despite cleaning with petrol, thinners, carb cleaner (anything I could find really) the front brakes weren't quite the same until I put new pads in
