Default ACF-50 Application

Been using Scottoiler FS365 but have now got some ACF-50 as I've read it will last longer. My main question is does the bike have to be dry before applying the ACF-50 or can it be applied to a wet bike like the FS365?

Got the FS365 from HG and thats what they told me. Also it says on the bottle apply after washing or after a wet run. I'm new to all this so don't take my word for it.

The FS365 can be applied wet, it repells water and you can see it working as you spray it on. Never tried the ACF but I hear its good and also used by those who ride shiny chromed up yank machines. And they are always clean eh

Thats it just clean and rinse the bike and just spray all over and see it working. Im still riding (yup nutter me) and I might try the ACF and see what the deal is on that one. Im using about a fiver of FS365 every two weeks so its getting costly. Could be the ACF is not so expensive afterall at this rate.

The ACF-50 cost me £12.72 compared to £6.99 for the FS365 but you use far less of the ACF-50 (so I've been told) so will last ages. Good reviews and comparisons with the 2 products on the link.
