Protect your bike from corrosion - vital in the UK (ACF-50) 

I live next to the beach. I use ACF-50 on almost all my exposed metal of my farm equipment, landscaping equipment, motorcycles, trailers and anything else susceptable to rust. I couldn't find it in the retail market. I found it through an aviation supply company. It came with more governmental paper than an Obamacare application.

ACF 50 is absolutely amazing stuff. It gets used on seaplanes to keep them in serviceable condition, if it weren’t for ACF 50 maintenance costs would be prohibitive for probably all seaplane airlines. Amazing stuff.

im glad all these people have plenty of time to sit outside and wash their motorbikes once a week but for those of us who have a life and work long hours, this stuffs great and I swear by it every winter for my trusty winter hack.

Was looking for a solution for bare cast aluminium in my engine bay. This looks the business. Thanks for the demo 👍

Good stuff. Have you seen Matt's channel "The Workshop" ? He's long term testing quite a few corrosion protection products and ACF is doing very well.

Excellent test I might have to get some of that.

I find cleaning and apply again every month, I find XCP rust blocker lasts 3 months, But I bought 5L of ACF50 so I'll use that first lol.

I have a 2006 Z1000 that now has 50k on it. It is ridden daily in all conditions. There is literally no visible corrosion or rust on the bike because I clean it ever weekend or of an evening. It takes one hour from start to finish. I use Turtlewax wash in a bucket of warm water & a sponge, then get all the detail parts with a micro fibre cloth, dry it off by hand then use either GT85 or MO94 all over, both have water dispelling ptfe. I never use a pressure washer. The ptfe stops any dirt from sticking making it dead easy to keep the bike clean. When the bike is clean it looks like it just came out of the crate. Of course I replace worn parts when needed. My point is that unlike owning a car, a motorcycle needs constant care, maintenance, & attention. That is one thing you have to take on board as a bike owner. Anyone can spare an hour a week rather than cover the bike in that ACF50 mess. Also when you use ACF50 it washes off the next time you clean the bike, so what is the real point of it? ACF50 was made to protect airplane electrical components from moisture; that’s all it’s really good for.

Best to buy it in the bottle with a hand pump sprayer, rather than an aerosol. Goes on better and is better value long term.

Hats off to you for riding through a British winter. I've been using acf50 for While now, brilliant stuff and economical if used with the pump sprayer. I've just heard about XCP rust blocker. Have you tried that?

What is in it and how does it work chemically? Or is it simply a mechanical barrier like a wax?

About if.if already have rust.what to used? Thanks to clean that out and use the product

can we ride straight after applying acf50

Would you have to use this stuff if the bike was just sitting in a garage with a cover over it? or is it just best to use when riding the bike during the winter months

Middleaged Rider, Point taken

Will it damage the matte black finish on my motorcycle exhaust?

Why I use ACF-50... because I can't buy XCP in America without an $18 shipping cost. Ya Heat That Amazon?!?

How did you get all that corrosion off

You can buy ACF-50 here: www.iot-pool.com/en/products/acf-50-anti-corrosao-aco-inoxidavel-cromado-ferro

Wd40 works as good imo..

ACF50 is some excuse to not clean your bike regularly. Wash the bike every weekend if you ride daily then treat with a ptfe product. Nothing will protect your bike better than that procedure. ACF50 is a messy affair that doesn’t give a true protective results in the real world.

Ummmm maybe washing your bike once in awhile is the best solution

WD40 is ok but acf50 is the bees 🐝 knees

Acf 50 is rubbish!! GT85 100% better

ACF50 is overpriced crap - your bike looks like it's been ridden through the winter. Every fastener has corroded. Save your money and buy Carplan Double TT
