Elbow grease and ACF50

Acf50 for winter riding I say , unless its stored outside. De grease chain first then wax it. Errr battery on optimate,
Fuel tank rimmed or empty unless you got stabilisers In it.
I use atuo glym wax, I use fairy and hot water to wash, but over winter it stays coated in acf50 and dirt

I wouldn't use washing up liquid by choice, get one of the supermarket value ranges baby bath or shampoo, it's salt free (kind to little eyes) and makes as many bubbles, about 50p a bottle so cheaper than washing up liquid to.

How long is it going to be stored for and where will it be stored?

in a garage and until february time

As above, and worth giving the chain a rub over with a lightly oiled rag otherwise the side plates can rust.
