ACF50!
Agree that it can attract dirt, but the corrosion protection it offers cancels out any other considerations in my humble opinion.

Yes the ACF 50 provides long term protection and the Scottoiler stuff washes off with the dirt. Use cold water as hot soapy water may wash both systems off-Ralph- wrote:And does the bike then come clean when you wash it?Redmurty wrote:Use both ACF 50 it allow to dry the use the Scottoiler stuff on top then wash with cold water after your ride.
Or just use ACF 50 and wash after every ride in cold water.

Agreed there is more chance of ACF staying on than WD, it`s sprayed on my engine and stays on no problem, also use it on my downpipes, smokes a bit when you start the bike up though :laugh: and remember ACF neutralises corrosion as well (thumbs)

I always used FS in the past but it when I sprayed it on my Tiger it went all streaky and horrible looking on the engine.
I now use ACF 50 with no problems.
