ACF 50 alternatives

[Jelly]

Here's a cheap alternative. Smother your bike in this.



And if you break down and are waiting hours for a recovery truck, you can lick your mudguard to sustain you. :silly:

If it's good enough for the RAF fast jets its good enough for me lol.

Buy a gallon jack (several places m&p, busters etc have offers at moment)

Buy an empty "£1 / home bargains" type atomising bottle like a kitchen cleaner bottle and spray onto the places u can't reach.

For the places u can reach spray onto a cloth and wipe. Saves a lot of wastage over an indiscriminate aerosol....

Or spray onto a clean paint brush, use it on an old faded Givi topbox and it comes up like new.

Have used ACF50 for the past 4 years - the large bottle and the pump pressurise bottle. This year I got a small brush and emptied a small quatity into a small container and then brushed it over the surface. Have put the brush in a plastic bag so it can be reused. Down side is the bike is not shiney, plus side it is protected.

Try reusablematerials.net for some cheap alternatives. Not tried the duck oil copy but at £5 for 5litres could be worth a try? ACF is good stuff.

I've seen this from Toolstation suggested as a cheaper solution elsewhere, not used it myself but at only £3.48 a can it might be worth trying

Ridden through snow/ice/rain and SALT !! jet washed bike while away and the 'waxy' stuff is still on there so it looks like its doing the job and for that price its a bargin, toolstaton do loads of good value cans of spray stuff, carb cleaner , white grease
