it's not affected my kwaker seals . Keep your clean ACF Wipe over rag in a Zip bag .then after whipping of the crude just re coat the shiny bit again with a thin coat .

1" paint brush with long bristles. I got the bottle (950ml?) with pump spray bottle from Wemoto, cheapest I could find at the time. It goes a long way, only needs to be used sparingly. Keep a rag for wiping down in a tin or jar, often don't need to apply any more, just wipe over with the "loaded" rag. It really does creep and spread into all the nooks and crannies.

It is very good stuff. I was recently given a load of tools, milling cutters/drill bits etc which had a few patches of rust from years of storage. Soaked everything for a week or so, nearly all the crud has cleaned off with only the deeper pits still showing. Excellent.

Brill, great little forum for advice this is!

Will be dousing the Triple in it to keep it protected. I reckon I'll still wash the bike weekly when the weather permits...so just lightly reapply with the mop up bag once the bikes clean I assume?

I do mine twice a year, if you wash the bike with cold water just to get the suface carp off you won't wash away the ACF50, then when you want to reapply it do a hot soapy wash and it comes right off, simple.

Cheers Mark.
