Does anyone have any tips/hints on how to minimise rusting/corrosion?
I've read that Mr. Sheen on spokes & rims helps. Anyone tried it? If it works on them would it work on nuts & bolts?
Are there any products on the market worth trying?

Re: Rustproofing
FST 365 works well too just spray the bike with the stuff after you wash it.
It's a lot cheaper than ACF50 but you do need to reapply after each wash which I don't think you do with ACF50.
I have always used FST 365 on my bikes and I ride all year, no rust yet.

Acf50 works well but hodeously expensive.....
I use waxoil mixed with wd40 to thin it a bit. Looks a mess, works a treat

I think ACF 50 is fair value for money. From one £14.99 can, I did two bikes a Tiger 995i and Tiger 800xc.piguglyshandydrinker wrote:Acf50 works well but hodeously expensive.....

I use it through an old paint spray gun. Brilliant stuff.
Adventure motorcycling is a challenge for those who go but only a dream for those who stay behind.

Re: Rustproofing
Thanks all - a fairly resounding thumbs up for ACF so have ordered some. I'll keep the Mr Sheen. It's been in the cupboard for years anyway.
