Wd 40 Against Acf50 Against Xcp Rust Blocker

You can get ACF 50 on ebay but don't get the big bottle and sprayer it's shit go for an aerosol.

 

nowt wrong with fs365 from makers of the scottoiler decent price been using it for years,kept my bike corrosion free in slightly damp garage easier to clean bike next time you wash it.

 

FS365 is the best by far, easy to use

 

Just watched the top video.

Really!!!

So we have all these products, probably expensive products, and all you have to do is apply the first one and clean the bike.

Then apply the second one and clean the bike again.

Then the third one and clean the bike with a pressure washer.

Then the fourth and clean the bike with a pressure washer

Then the fifth........

Then the polish.......

Did we scare you enough to make you empty your bank account yet?

It's getting more like the cosmetics industry every day. Ladies you must use our anti ageing and anti wrinkle creams and so many women spend a fortune knowing they are being ripped off but doing it anyway just in case there's something in it after all.

I don't believe in the implied 'Use our products once and your set for the entire winter.' all it takes is money approach.

Clean the bike with mild detergent, another word for degreaser, dry the bike then apply a coat corrosion inhibitor.

ACF50
FS365
etc.

In addition you should wash the road salt off regularly and reapply your protection of choice.

I've never had a bike suffer from bad corrosion simply because I kept them clean and salt free using basic products.

 

Another thing with WD40 is it's a pretty good degreaser.

So if you want to remove any grease or lubricant from inside ignitions or light/ indicator switches, locks or bearings then spray away, but expect problems

 

Years ago I always cleaned my bike with paraffin. Good degreaser, especially for chain grease and it left a nice oily film on the bike which protected it well until the next clean. It was also very cheap compared to a lot of other bike specific cleaners. I'm sitting here wondering why i've stopped using it now?

 

I use XCP, mainly because I can get it FOC. I find it really good although I do re-apply it after every wash. I recon its all about a mind state, if you think your protected you will most likely be keeping an eye on whether bits are rusting etc, lets be fair unless its a Rat Bike rust is not a good addition to any machine.

 

I use the AllYearBiker service and they used to use ACF50 ( with great results ), but they've moved across to XCP Professional as it's giving much better results ( although I belive you can still opt for the ACF50 treatment ).

Easily the best money I've spent looking after my bikes and makes keeping them in great condition a simple job.

 

I always found that due to the viscosity acf does't spray from the can very well. Its also difficult to direct accurately. The scotoiler stuff is good but if it gets on the engine , the smell whilst not initially unplesant gets on yer tits after a while.
There is another option. Waxoil ,paint it on with a brush or spray ( choose the clear ) at the beginning of winter and remove it at the end with wd 40. I have used waxoil for the last 20 odd years and it works brilliantly. Also only use wax polish on chrome , never chrome cleaner . Happy polishing peeps

 

ACF is a lot easier to use if you leave it in a sink of hot water for 5 or 10 minutes first. Hopefully it wont make the can rusty...

 

Or lay the canister on a warm radiator as a little warmth helps it spray easier.

 

Be prepared for a rash of exploding ACF50 canisters!

 

Not experienced any exploding ACF50 canisters yet after they've been warmed on a warm radiator

If anyone any one is concerned then place on cool radiator

 

thats only if warming up in the microwave
