Anyone rinsed off the ACF50 yet?

[tommygun]

With spring being deceptively early, the ol girl is looking in need of a good wash (the dirty b*tch that she is). But is it too early still?

 

[IanNicky]

Washed mine off last Sunday looking like new again

 

[Bounce]

Cleaned & polished last weekend , and all protective lubricant type things re-applied......

Bring on the summer (clocks forward @ the w/end)...

There's still one hell of a lot of salt out on the roads

What's the best thing to get the ACF50 off then ?

 

[tommygun]

More ACF50.......

 

[Beemerman59]

Did mine 3 weeks ago - SDoc100 gel works a treat with ACF50 and after three winters the bike looks like new.

Using Scottoiler FC365 from now on until October for corrosion protection plus its a lot easy to clean during the summer.

I use muc-off - spray it on, leave a couple of mins, wash it off. Thats mine done until next winter

I reckon it's just grit. Taste it

I tried muc off but that didn't shift it all. Ended up using WD40 to shift the ACF50 then Muc off to shift the WD40.

Bike came up spangly clean though in the end

1 bottle of Castrol greentec and about 5hrs, the winter crust just fell off.

What the frig did i do that for.

I know its late but i bought some acf50 two weeks ago and decided after washing my bike today i'd put it on to see what its like............................
Ive now got a bike which looks like ive dipped it in a pan of bloody chip oil. EVERYWHERE, tyres, brakes, everywhere. BOLLOCKS.

Ive dumped it in my garage and will have to wipe the tyres and brakes off next week.....

My advice for putting it on for the first time............ go easy, it seems to bloody expand into every crevice a bit like that expando foam.......

Another lesson learnt... DOH !!!!!!!!

Mine has been cleaned off for the last couple of weeks I use SDOC.
For putting it on I use a paraffin gun and a compressor. Easy to control, blasts it in the gaps and doesn't put it on too thick. You do need to cover the disks though or they might catch some over spray
