Anyway ... back to the real world ... Mr Wolf ... are we saying one can spray this stuff all over the place, except wheels and brakes etc ?? I do like a clean bike so I wonder if there is any point in using it as I wash and clean the bike every few days ... daily commuter .... sounds like good stuff but maybe not for me ? What do you think ?

Leather it everywhere you can't see. As it warms it vapourises and gets into all nooks and crannies, into electrical connectors etc. and weatherproofs them.  The stuff is excellent, one spray a year should be OK, you can still clean bike as usual, it's the bits you can't get to, can't see that benefit.

Thanks Winston .. that sounds good ... I shall go and find some in the next few days !

am only using it because everbody seems to! am a copy cat ;) if its good enough for there bikes then its good enough for mine ;D seriously thou! I also wash my bike at least once a week. and still will even with the acf-50 spray on, was hoping the acf-50 may make the cleaning a little bit easier :) and anythink that helps keep the corrosin away as got to be worth having! I understand the only place you dont apply the acf-50 is on the discs,pads and tyres doh :o! I intend to apply by cloth to the wheel rims and every where eles when I get round to doing it! am a bit tired up at the moment with other things,but will get round to it a.s.a.p :)

There is no benefit to spraying it on painted surfaces that I am aware of. It is simply a rust & moisture inhibitor.

+1 - Was designed for the US Navy, think of it as WD40 or GT-85 on steroids! It's used for preventing salt from seawater rotting aluminium and metal on Navy aircraft.

Ah .... Winston.. you have it, now the penny has dropped into the right place. Ta.

It what I use on my bike all over including the fairings. Means that when it comes to washing everything comes off easier. I spray it liberally on all parts except brakes.

I'm going to give my bike a treat and get it done professionally this year. I think Martin posted a link to where it can be done for £60, and LW informs me that my local BMW garage does it also.

Blimey NB .. you wont recognise it when you go to get it back !
