ACF-50 (Anti-Corrosion Formula) was originally designed to protect aircraft from existing and new corrosion and is now available to home users. Aviation products have to meet rigorously high standards and ACF-50 not only meets these but has been awarded Aviation approvals - MIL-SPEC 81309 types II and III which means it is 'approved for ferrous and non-ferrous metals, electrical systems and electronic components'. The US Navy carried out tests using ACF-50 on the jets on their Aircraft Carriers. They found that ACF-50 so significantly reduced the corrosion they had previously experienced they now use ACF-50 all the time! It works in that type of harsh environment so imagine how well it's going to protect your bike! When applied ACF-50 forms an 'Active' ultra-thin clear film that will kill any existing corrosion cells and will protect your bike against new corrosion forming. On areas such as switches or under the tank and seat, engine bay, suspension, electrics etc one application will last up to 12 months. Other more exposed areas will need topping up more regularly. ACF-50 has the ability to 'chemically neutralise road salt' and water will bead on contact and literally bounce off. Ideal for the bike that is used all year round in all weathers, a superb service spray as ACF-50 is also a lubricant and penetrant (without loosening structural attachments) and if you put your bike away for the winter, applying ACF-50 will ensure that moisture will not be allowed to cause any damage! Untreated moisture will creep into cracks and will not freely evaporate - ACF-50 actively ejects moisture from these areas. Remember, ACF-50 protects jets on US aircraft carriers! If it works for these jets in these conditions, think how well it's going to work for your bike, car, lawnmower, boats etc. ACF-50 holds written OEM approvals from the following manufacturers: Douglas/Boeing Helicopter, ATR Regional Transport, Bell Helicopter Textron, Gulfstream Aerospace, Brit

ACF 50 has to be one of the best products of it's type out there! I am a year round biker, and used it on my bike for the salty Scottish roads of last winter. Not even a hint of corrosion come the spring! Best used after the bike's weekly detergent wash, and survives the daily post-ride wash down with water. I got through 1-2 cans over the winter, so I bought a couple more for this winter.
Originally developed for aircraft, I find this stuff is a really good protector against corrosion on my BMW. I apply it in autumn and it protects against salt damage. It attracts dirt, and makes the bike look less than pristine, but frankly, life's too short to care in winter. ACF50 is really gunky, so putting the aerosol in a bowl of hot water for 10 minutes before use makes it easier to apply.
It's not as good as others have said. It's even better!
I have TWO motorcycles, and use ACF50 on both. Great for clearing away grime. Black metal that has faded to grey and started to look old is brought back to black and looks brand new again. The water resistant properties of ACF50 mean that treated areas don't become dirty as quickly. I use it on my bicycle too - chain, cogs, derailleurs all come up shiny and looking new!
