ACF50's the only one that works properly. Oh that or black moly grease mixed with paraffin.

I always think if you have a portable heater it a good idea to stand it in front of the bike once every few weeks to dry out the moisture off your bike.

i always clean the crud off my bike with wd40, always dry the bike off when putting it away and try to ride dry roads only hence keeping the wet salt off.

I tend to just ride and then water the bike down to keep it clean lol.
Any one have any good sites to get the old ACF50 from?

I just got a can of ACF50 off Ebay for about £13. Although it seems expensive, having used it once I reckon it'll last me 2 years as a little goes a hell of a long way. One week (and a lot of rain) later and my bike still has a (naked to the eye) film of protective oil all over it.

I'm very impressed and would definitely recommend it over Scottoilers stuff, which I went through about 2 bottles of last year.
