Acf50 applyer

ok just popped into Aldis to get some wd40 chain wax/lube, bought their base layer but noticed they are selling an electric paint sprayer for around £35. Thinking this could make a good ACF50 applicator. Has anyone bought one of these?Any thoughts?

 

I thought if it could spray wmulsion it would be OK. If I buy it though you'll have to wait til next autumn for product test. Blue? Oh! I hadn't noticed

 

I bought the Aldi base layer - seems good enough quality and has been warm enough the past week.

 

£9.99 if you don't like em they're cheap cleaning cloths!

 

Ha ha only worn the trousers so far but were ok under textile trousers.

 

Ah ... but are they blue??!!

 

No, so I'm surprised crispey bought them!

 

Haven't bought em yet, not managed to get back!

 

I treated my bike to a wash and blow dry with All Year Biker (Richard in Cheshire). The simplest ACF50 application method I could think of!

 

LOL Yes - I should have said that the foam was part of the wash / degrease stage. The ACF50 application all happened under a shroud of dark cloths and wouldn't have looked so dramatic

 

What price? I hear everyone ask! Ok then just me, acf50 at this time of year?

 

Crispey - £65 for the wash, blow, degrease, ACF50 and polish, and a good ole chat. My bike is new, and a) I want to keep it shiny without using any riding time to do so, and b) I've so often thought "I wish I'd done that from new", so I did. I might prep it for winter with another visit in Autumn...

 

Well there's the differences in london prices!!! £120 down here according to Gerrards cross gary

 

Jeez, I've bought bikes for less than £120.......
It may take a bit of time to clean and polish 'em yourself, but I look at it as time well spent (mainly due to the fact that the wife won't go into the garage, and I don't have to listen to her bumping her gums about some non-bike related rubbish)

 

"bumping her gums" - not come across that one but I like it !!!!!!!!!!!

 

I used ACF50 last year and it's just a fancy polish (just an opinion) and was a waste of money on both my bikes as doesn't last if you do the miles. I know a lot of people swear by it but it doesn't give a proper coating that lasts for my liking.

I use http://hybridx.co.uk/ as it's in a completely different league to ACF50. If i had known about this stuff when i bought the bike spend 300 notes on their 15 year coating and jobs done. I have both bikes done and I'm sure soon they plan on doing a video showing you difference with ACF50 being one of the ones being used as a comparison.

Get what you pay for at end of the day and I tour round Europe on mine so got to be good gear

 

Interesting, will gave r to have a look on my PC as the page won't load on my phone.

 

Not heard of this stuff but will take a look.
