What to spray ACF50 on?

[alan36]

Do I just spray it onto everything i.e. plastics, electrics, mechanicals???

[Biker's Nemesis]

No to disc's, tyres and your seat.

[the cueball]

I spray everything apart from brake discs, tyres, seat and grips.

I also take the seat and tank off to get into all those bits.

Don't use too much! less is more with that product.

Nothing new here to add, but I am testing ACF-50 vs XCP, vs Ammo Pro's new corrosion protector soon.

ACF is good, but it does need topping up.

I apply it with a spray gun and compressor and then a soaked rag.

I applied some to my rusting (apparently galvanised...) ABS ring on front wheel. I wiped off as much as I could, but fear some will get flung onto brake disc. Will test tomorrow & report back, assuming I'm not in A & E.....

It does fling quite well, so I'd try cleaning it a bit more if I were you !

I know someone who covered his complete bike in ACF50 including the brake discs. Surprisingly he didn’t die and took a lot of convincing to clean it off!

I swear it tells you how and where to apply on the bottle?


But after using ACF50 for many years I would rather suggest trying XCP rust protection for a better result

Just read the instructions

I’ve just used re-acf-50’d my bike.A tip would be to warm your spray bottle beforehand-I did,for about 15 minutes-it thins it out nicely.
I bought a flairosol fine mist spray bottle and it goes on really easily Flairosol Fine Mist Spray Bottle - White https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00LTW2ZHO/ref=cm_sw_r...
Oh and remember that acf 50 has a shelf life of about two years.I didn’t realise and wondered why it wouldn’t thin and was blocking up my previous spray bottles!

Full can onto each disc to stop them rusting ofc

[Johnny50]

I used to use ACF50 but recently changed to Bilt Hamber Atom-mac.

You can dilute it with water, and can be used on discs too so no worries about getting it on them.

Just spray it on after a wash then let it dry naturally.

To be honest I tend to put a little in a bowl and use a very long paint brush that way you waste much less
