Anyone used one of these for acf yet, I must say the videos look awesome. And at a fiver seems pretty effective.

We have one that came with some hipster cleaning stuff for in the house... It's ok but only if the fluid is nice and thin.

Having never used ACF, is it thin?

[moanthebairns]

Id always heat it up in warm water before tbh.

Heating it up and using acf50 in a container like he has in the middle (the larger one) it doesn't mist anything like as well as his demo with the flairosol.

I always pour a bit in a small container and then use a small paintbrush, wiping off any excess.

I've ordered one, I'll let you know, but as you said....I now need to wash the bloody bikes.

I tried one and the results were mediocre for me, it would momentarily mist but end with a blob of ACF50 not much different from the normal sprays. What I found worked was those simple plastic water spray bottle you can buy sometimes used at barbers etc where you can control the amount of mist at the nozzle by rotating. One of those plus some time in warm water for me give a good amount of misting, the only thing better is an air compressor which I can't be bothered pulling out.

Pumpy spray bottle and a dash of white spirit to thin the ACF.

Well if it has its mucked it up for the better.
My bike’s a year-round commuter and still looks good at 50k miles.
It’s white spirit. Not caustic soda or Kryptonite.
