Protecting Coilovers from road grime....
Discussion
Afternoon fellas.
I have been fortunate and bought some mint Tein coilovers for my car at half their retail cost. They look like new bar one or two fitting marks and are only 2 years old.
What would you recommend spraying on them to keep them minty fresh through our weather seasons?
The car rarely gets driven in the winter, and only when the road is dry and salt-free, but it does sit outside unfortunately.
I have seen some stuff advertised called FK coilover spray, but I would rather get the tried and tested suggestions from you fine folk.
Thanks
Rob

For Salt corrosion avoidance the big thing amongst uk bikers is an anti corrosison product originally developed I believe for aircraft. Called ACF50 and now available from most good M/bike shops including Hein Gerick (of which there is usually one in every major town or so it would seem).
Clean item and spray liberally with ACF50, leave until winter over and wash off with SDOC100 (another great biker product for shifting clagged on grime/grease/brake dust etc)

Fantastic stuff I have used this on Motocross bikes and advised a mate to use it on his KW coilovers that he uses on his Daily driver/track car (MR2 MK1) and they are still in perfect condition after 1 and half years ,he washes the car and coats the coilovers once every weak..... certainly works !

Unlike WD40 it's a dry film lubricant so dust and such like won't stick after it dries
