I couldn't ascertain if it was just one coat then left (that's how the test appears to be done) If you read the f365 instructions you have to keep applying the stuff after a wet ride the idea is it breaks down/neutralises salt.
I use f365 it does do a decent enough job its not shit.

F365 is ok, but washes off quite quickly.
Fine if you reapply frequently, or don't ride that often.
As an all year, any weather commuter I only use ACF50.
Yeah it's more expensive, but it does an exelent, not just an ok job and lasts far far longer.

I use acf50. It can be tricky to apply as you need a fine mist, which means warming the spray can or better still use a compressor.
Best example I can give of its effectiveness is I hand polished a set f diamond cut wheels on my old Mondeo. With it being polished lacquer wouldn’t adhere to it so I used ACF50 to stop it corroding. After three years of use, regular washes and the same amount of winters they still looked as good as when I’d first done them.

Re: Rust prevention - Or is FS365 any good?
Just lost 8:36 minutes off my life watching the original YouTube.
I have left motorcycles parked outside with no coatings and the disc never rusted at all!
Never mind F365 - all the 'products' were the same.
Lard and Vaseline outperformed the 'products'.
In the real world on a bike that is stored or used, what would happen?
I use F365 and find it good.
There are other products which make a longer-lasting waxy coat but they collect dirt and are hard to remove.
The manufacturers websites have more realistic tests, and a search on classic car sites will give comparisons between products such as Dinitrol, Waxoyl, etc.

Im also a user of ACF50 on an all year bike. Its holding up well this winter
But again pretty hard to apply as it comes out pretty thick from the can.

Im hoping we're getting to the end of winter soon and they'll stop putting salt down so i can actually wash the bike and ACF50 off. Its looking filthy
Re: Rust prevention - Or is FS365 any good?
Salgon salt neutraliser is good, and much cheaper than F365 and good to use on the car etc.
Mixes 20-1 and just cover the bike to neutralise the salt, my car always used to go with a bang when I reversed of the drive, due to the brakes grabbibg, since using this over the winter, they have never grabbed since.
Wish I'd come across this stuff sooner..
