Rust Protection - Anyone use HCB-1 by Muc-Off?

[Koolkat969]

Car is currently having the underside and cavities re-touched up with anti-corrossion products and was looking for a product to spray on the suspension parts also to give it rust protection.

Was previously going to use Lanoguard for the suspension arms, shocks, springs etc but came across HCB-1 by Muc-Off which appears to have been released last year so first I've come accross it.

Muc-Off claims it gives up to a years protection against rust and corrosion plus kills existing corrosion on contact. The product can be used not just on bikes but classic and modern cars. The corrosion killing properties is swaying me to use this over Lanoguard.

Has anyone had any experience of using HCB-1 and experiences so far?

Being a thin film product, If you're looking for something similar but more proven I'd say stick to ACF-50

Thanks - yes i did consider ACF-50 but HCB-1 is supposed to be a thin film product also that has undergone an intensive salt spray testing and with a UV application dye which makes it easy to check where it's been applied. I guess this makes it beneficial for routine checks down the line to ensure the protection is still there.

The whole brief sounds impressive which is why I'm swayed towards it above previous tried and tested products.

I'm using up my stock of ACF50, give the rust prone areas a soaking twice a year, also last year i smeared marine grease on the exposed ladder chassis which will see the ACF50 lasting longer doing its proper job of seeping into hidden areas, be interesting come the spring to see how the grease has fared.
Others on my make specific forum have been trying chain lube, which has the right consistency for resisting weathering and cheap when bought by the decent sized drum.

XCP clear coat is far superior to acf50.

Have you considered Bilt Hambers products, Dynax UB or UC for general protection or S50 for cavities, all are very well rated and claim to last around 3 years

ACF50 reviews are mainly hype.
