Default ACF50 time

Looks with the frosts forcasted this weekend will need to cover the bike in ACF50 again before salting crews go crazy.

Which means I've got to clean bike first Argghhh hate cleaning bikes

Cheers Steveg

Ah, ACF50

never used it, ridden through a few winters now and my bike dosn't seem any worse for it really

But then I rinse my bike down alot so I guess that helps, labour intensive th0ough

Have never used it either and just rinse bike off with cold water then give it a quick wipe down. 4 year old bike that looks pretty good

Maybe if i rode it everyday to work i would use it but i only take it twice a week and use at weekends too.

I have just spent a day cleaning and covering my CG in ACF-50 and I'm so glad I got it done and out of the way ready for winter!

It's an anti-corrosion oil based spray which protects your bike in the winter months,salt etc......spray/paint it on everywhere except brake discs,pads & tyres(for obvious reasons)......you can even spray your electrical parts,worth its weight in gold....HTH.
