It is good, but neither as good nor as economical to use as ACF50.

Yeah I was after acf50 but all sold out! Hopefully a generous coating of this should do the trick for now

It's okay but will wash off a lot easier than ACF, I think WD40 is as good if not better to be fair though....you might want to think about reapplying it fairly often...and keep an eye out for ACF50, there is no equivalent

Being water-soluble, it might come in handy about July

I think it's crap. Which muppet would think of corrosion resister that washes off.

There'll be some ACF for sale somewhere, loads on ebay.

FS 365: It's only good when you put your bike away after a winter run without washing it for a coupla days. Definitely better than nothing.

For pre ride protection WD40 or ACF50.

I always built up a good crust of coats of wd40 over the winter months. Your bike will look like a POS but come spring, some engine degreaser applied with a paint brush and underneath it all, all is well.
