Fantastic stuff, been using it for several years. I spray it into the lid and apply with an inch paintbrush a couple of times a year. After applying i use the same old tshirt to wipe excess and spread it over large surfaces. That tshirt is then kept purely for wiping over bike once a week to maintain coating. The t shirt will become really heavy and loaded with it making quick work of recoating regularly. Quick tip, wear washing up gloves when handling tshirt!

Great video. You've persuaded me to buy some ACF50 and I don't even have a motorbike :-)

Great vid... You're like a one man recording team, the many different continues camera angles are great and the sound is brilliant too... It amazes me that MCN struggle to make videos like this. Ive just subscribed!!

I've been using this for many years, as said clean the bike first then I spray onto a microfiber cloth and wipe over all the chrome and paintwork, for places you can't get to with the cloth spay ACF50 into the cap and brush into the hard to get to areas. My bike is covered with this from October until the end of March and still ridden all winter. I don't wipe or wash it off until then. Spraying it on you use and loose far too much. My H-D Road King is now 104K since new in 2003 and you wouldn't believe how good it looks and no rust.

"I put my wife's best towels over the wheels" You've got a deathwish!

Great video. Tried ACF50 a few years ago and declared it crap. Watched this, just treated my 2016 1200GS with it, it’s come up lovely. Thanks for posting this!! 😊

Thanks for bringing this useful product to my attention. I just ordered a 32 oz kit from a supplier here in Canada. As I placed the order, I realized this should be at least as useful on my Yamaha quad as on my GS650 twin!

I have used the product for 30+ years mostly in aerospace (Gulfstream) GII on the Sta. 580 Aft Pressure Bulkhead. Best tech tip here is to warm the material before application! You may also use a air brush for the super fine application if needed. If you have electrical connectors apart make sure you apply ACF-50 before re-assembly. If using a racing DAS coat the box and connections! It will make future dissasembly easy and protect while in service. FYI this product is now being used offshore on oil platforms in the Gulf to protect the rigs in the harshest corrosion environment. Run the bike if possible for a short time as the vibration will make the product propagate! Then wipe off excess. I clean my fork legs post ride to remove dirt particulates and keep the fork seals in good working form.. Spray radiator / Oil cooler and such... Keep that 1/2 oz. show sample bottle in your line bag. BMW S 1000RR Ducati Panigale 1199 R

Brilliant! Every day is a school day! I use it too but seeing those nails at the end was brilliant teacher! :-) TBH!

Thanks for another great video. I have been using ACF 50 for many years now, and like you, can thoroughly recommend it. Safe riding this winter!

I did this to my bike (Suzuki Bandit 1200) today after watching your previous video about ACF 50. I was looking at having someone come and do it for me, but I decided to do it myself. It really does work wonders on the plastic, and I hope it keeps the shiny bits shiny!

Zen and The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance!

You've persuaded me to go buy a motorcycle to apply this stuff onto now 🤭😄👍🤞

This is THE video I was looking for. You never fail to deliver TMF! Thanks.

Every time I do this I have a quick re-watch to remember how, just done my GS, now onto my 30 year old RD350YPVS, thanks again

Bike manufacturers should apply this by default.

I apply the ACF50 direct to microfibre and rub over the bike. No gloopy mess and it still does it's job fine

You are the bee's knees! I just heard about this stuff and was about to ask you for a review of it and, naturally, you have already done one. Many thanks!

After watching your video i got some ACF 50 and applied it on my Triumph today and im loving the smell in the garage.

Expect your acf50 commision cheque in the post any day soon :-)

omg this is the guy to buy a used bike, keen or what wow !

Thanks for this vid. Just about to ACF 50 my GS1250 so this has been really helpful 👍

Blimey. This looks promising. I have a brand new bike and my ACF 50 has arrived. Very happy. Thanks for posting

I’m an aircraft engineer and to my memory or knowledge I have never used acf-50, looks like it does a fantastic job mind I’ve been using muc offs silicon spray not sure if it’s any good for corrosion properties but it brings up the metals and plastics lovely

Nice video, i always spray some ACF50 in a cup and apply it with a brush on the bike.

Hi Mr Flyer , I would just like to say how interesting I find your motorcycle videos ,some great reviews and information.look forward to seeing more,all the best Graham.

It's that time of year again. Just about to get the bowl of hot water out to warm up my ACF50. Thanks for the Video Andy. Completely sums up all you need to know.

Hi MF. I tried acf50 last year via a compressor and as you say it's very gloopy. The compressor applied it very well though it's something best done outdoors unless you want an acf50 fog in your garage! Although it protects the parts of the bike you apply it to very well I found the bike then became quite dirty as the mud and general road crud stuck to it and formed a layer making the bike look dirty. When I cleaned the bike the acf50 also reacted with the shampoo suds killing them instantly and the acf50 also made a mess of my microfibre cleaning cloths. I have also tried fs365 which is a lot cheaper and is easier to apply. The fownside is you need to reapply it more often-I give mine a reapplication each time I clean my GS which only takes a few minuted but the bike looks a lot cleaner as it's not as gloopy nor does it have the same effect on the shampoo sudds. Maybe you could try some on one of your other bikes and do a comparision of the pros and cons of both? I think there's a case for both depending on personal preference and how much you ride during the worst of the weather. Cheers Ade

First thing I do when I get a new bike is strip the panels & tank off & apply the ACF in all the hidden areas. I use the bottle non aerosol form much easier to apply, buy a cheap spray gun connect it up to an air compressor & mist it on.

Your bikes always look mint that tells me it works great video great product 🇬🇧👍

I have recommended this stuff to so many friends over the past few years. It's magic stuff. Makes me want to buy a plane to use it on it's intended purpose.

Stuff works great. Taste good too! I use it in my tea every morning instead of stevia. Stevia is crap!

Hello mate, just quickly is this stuff good for chains and I assume it's ok on the wheels just not brakes and tyres? A response would be appreciated. I really like your channel very informative and love the man cave. It's my goal!

Did both my bikes yesterday. Have an sligthly rusty Diversion 900 and it looks brand new again😀 also did the new FJR for protection coming summer (lots of rain in Holland) Thanks for the tip! Amazing stuff!

It's a great product. Been using it for a few years. Just doused my H2SX after an Xmas day ride out. Great vid as always Mr Flyer ;)

I got arm pump just watching you spray lol

Don’t use this product on a bike unless you clean your bike infrequently. And certainly don’t use it on areas that aren’t exposed to road grime. The stuff leaves a sticky mess. You’re better of with GT85 or MO94. Both those products have PTFE that is good enough to keep any bike ridden in any condition corrosion free.

Just bought some of this to give it a try - glad I watched your video first.

Only through your videos that I knew the ACF50, although in my country is not for sale I had to order through the internet, incredible this stuff, the motorcycle seems new, highly recommended. Thanks for sharing. Cheers Eduardo

Just finished doing my motorbike. The plastic came up like new . Thanks for the video it really helps. I got the aerosol can and used the yellow tube but that made it gloopy so I tried with just the nozzle that was perfect. Thanks again TMF 👍

Just ordered s the pump ACF50 from Amazon,agreed about the can,but used some via brush from spraining in the lid as had a small patch of surface rust on my pannier rack,amazing stuff totally reversed it,once again great video.

Great video, This is the way I used to treat my bikes but I now use a mini gravity feed spray gun of Compressor, Start to finish is only 10 to 20min and honestly there's alot less wasted and less mess, Great stuff

OK I'm in.Picking up my 1290 GT tomorrow (great review by the way) i will use this prior to my first ride.Thanks for posting.

Thanks to you TMF I have made a video using ACF50 and I have credited you for the inspiration behind the filming. Thanks again for posting.

Now I know how dealerships make second hand bikes look so new! Thanks for the vid

I know this is a oldie but a goodie . I use ACF 50 on my bike because I watch this a long time ago. I use a garden sprayer the kind you pump up with air, it works great ! It atomizes the ACF50 like the aerosol is supposed to. You are right about a little goes a long way. I bought a big container of it and haven't even used what I put in the garden sprayer. It's a good product thanks for the recommend

Just winterised my bike using afc50 thanks for another great vid

I keep telling myself to view your vids and stop commenting so much. Trouble is your content is always so good I can't help not give an opinion. Once again you've nailed it....

Well, because of your vid, I've spent my money and purchased the same acf50 that you have. I first struggled to get a mist, then put the acf50 in hot water and then got a great mist. Must say, my bike is now looking as good today as it ever has and the garage smells a treat to boot. Ace., cheers.

Excellent informative video, delivered in a very pleasant manner. I just bought some for my Piaggio MP3 and it has transformed the bike. Thanks.

thanks for that ,I just bought some today ,top man for taking the time to do the video !!

Great information on ACF50. I am in the aviation industry and no matter where you go ACF50 is available in abundance. I have never given any thought on using it on my bike. Looks like I have a new project to work on now. Thanks for the info....

As usual another great video. Teasing me with nail test made a dull topic more interesting and left me eager to see the results.

Realise I’m late responding so apologies. Following your review I would like to say thanks. I bought a tracer 900 new just over 2 years ago and I sprayed the whole bike with the exception of the brakes and tyres before taking it out. Really impressed, have applied it many times since. Have ridden In winter and have no corrosion having done just over 12000 miles. I saw a guy a few months ago with the same bike and his looked like it came out of a canal, he’d never heard of ACF50 and was amazed how new my bike looked. One tip use a spray gun instead as it goes on finer and more evenly. I know you discussed that in another vlog. Thanks for this and other reviews etc.

Hi. I've just spent the weekend cleaning and applying ACF50 to my 1199 Panigale and 800 XRX, great stuff although did the schoolboy error of not warming it prior to application so it came out as a single squirt instead of a diffused spray so had a little extra work getting an overall coverage.Took all the fairings off the Pani and the results looked really good, very pleased. Thanks for your video not only on this but all the other topics as well.ps. Bought a pet dryer prior to Christmas and only just got around to using it, amazing how much water you get out of all the nooks and crannies, well worth the purchase.

Used to do this about 20 odd years ago on my cruiser but we used WD40 back then. It did a great job of protecting all the chrome etc. during the winter months as I commuted every day on it.

Great video - just preparing to apply the ACF50!

Hi TMF, thanks for a great video. I apply ACF50 using the paint sprayer on my compressor. I use a very low pressure setting and it gives a great result - takes about 10-15 minutes to completely spray my RT, so very quick job with minimum wastage. I recommend using a mask to protect your lungs / throat from the fine fog that is produced. Also, did your test with an an iron bar, covered it with ACF50 left it in the rain for four days with no rust. I then washed the bar in my usual vehicle shampoo and left the bar out in the rain again and this time it was nearly completely rusted within two days. So my advice is to apply ACF50 after each wash, but it does mean you can leave it longer between washes (useful in the winter months).

Tried this stuff for the first time yesterday on my Tracer 700 and bloody wow its amazing finish thanks for the advise and ACF50 is my friend lol...

Great video, again! Keep them coming, Sir.

have some of this myself ready to go on, dont have a fancy compressor so doing it the old fashioned way. Also have the aerosol spray and agree its rubbish so hoping the spray bottle will do a better job. Top work as always sir Flyer

I use it but have struggled - I bought the aerosol and TMF has resolved my issues!

good information. wish I had purchased my 2016 R1200GSA when new. I have a lot of work to make it look new

I have only used for the last 3 years, and like you I spray it twice a year My only problem is removing the panels on my bike is a pain I have only ever used the Aerosol spray and it is a bit messy but all good stuff. Very interesting to see the result of the 2 nails after such a short time Thanks for the Video.

I've applied it to my GS, Girlfriends GS and Harley this year using a gravity fed spray gun and compressor . nothing special but got a proper mist spray and could get it in everywhere. Only thing to bear in mind is that you will need a mask as it obviously creates a bit of a fog in the garage. however this is good for any garage tools, boxes, benches etc. I just sprayed a little of the contents of the Aerosol ACF 50 into the spray gun reservoir and worked better than anything I can think of. Used a tiny amount . Did three bikes in all and used maybe 1/3 of an Aerosol tin in total, possibly half a tin but very economical and thorough way of doing things ,as the mist /fog will get into the Electrics and hard to reach places much better than the tin or pump spray. As you say leave it a while then wipe over. Job done . Great Vids by the way. Keep it up. :-)

I really enjoy your man cave videos, I’m off to add ACF50 to my shopping list. 👍🏻👍🏻

Great video, loved the style in general and I'll be subscribing for sure. I wish I'd seen this video before purchasing the aerosol as you point out difficult to control, gloopy!

I've been eagerly awaiting this one to "compare notes". You do pretty much as I do, I can't see the point in washing down the bike after every use if it's protected with ACF50. I probably go on approx 6 rides before it gets the full clean/treatment again. Thanks for the nail test, that really highlights how good it is. Your lawnmower obviously doesn't get the same TLC! :-) Regards, Jon.

great vid TMF, been watching some of your content recently and just sub. Taking delivery of a 2016 R1200GA when the spring hits and will definitely use some ACF50.Thanks

Great vid as normal thanks mate. Your bikes always look mint👍👍 doing the multistrata and drz next weekend

Great channel. Great style. Good shots and editing. Great content. No unneccesary fireworks!

Really good demonstration with the nails TMF; I have both my bikes ACF50'd every year by All Year Biker as I don't have the time to do it myself. Cheers, Andy

Thanks, really useful vid. Treated two bikes at the weekend using the aerosol can, as we now have 5 bikes between my son and myself will go for the pump bottle and bulk supply next time.

cheers TMF - the simple nail test says it all - off to eBay now to order some in!!

A friend of mine mentioned ACF50 to me a couple of weeks back. Didn't think much of it as I keep my bikes in the garage but after seeing your video it looks like a good idea.. Lets just say the nail swayed me! Cheers

Great video thanks, think I will grab some to coat the bike for the upcoming winter, cheers!

I have used ACF50 when it was being sold at the PFA rally (my old man use to fly) and it is a god send :D My kit car gets covered in it every year :D

ACF-50 stops corrosions in its track immediately! Excellent Product. Gets the water out and it's done!!!

This stuff amazing it's made in Canada, funny it's difficult to find, now it's becoming popular. 🇨🇦

Thank you for this. I ride year round in Vancouver and I definitely need some of this! Cheers again.

It's brilliant stuff, been using it for years, not just before winter either. I apply it to the wheels, very carefully, holding the can as close as possible, avoiding the discs, and spread it on with a cloth. I then clean the discs with paper towels and acetone. It's very important not to use the brakes, even for a moment, until the discs have been cleaned, to avoid contaminating the pads.

Lear Chemicals who make ACF50 also make a product called Corrosion Block which is very similar and also certified/recommended for saltwater marine use. I've used this for a few years now and rate it higher than ACF50. It comes with identical trigger sprayers which are better than nothing but I find a compressor driven spray gun much more efficient if you have access to one as it atomises the fluid to a much finer level improving it's penetration/creep properties.

You’ve nailed it. I usually get Diamondbrite on my bikes, but i think I’ll try ACF 50 (on the Tiger 900 GT Pro I’ve ordered for 2021). Cheers.

Cool stuff, thank you for the video. Getting it here.

Been using act 50 for years great stuff good add mate cherrs

Great info thank you. Never heard of the stuff until I saw your vid. 👍

I am definitely going to get me some some ACF50! I've used a Muc-Off protection spray which is OK but that looks like it would do a much better job and last longer too. Great little experiment!

Thanks for all your useful vids, really helpful

I use XCP rust blocker now but yeah ACF-50 is fine as long as you can't see it on the surface, it should only be seen as a shine. One tip is to keep a dedicated wipe off cloth for later use in a resealable bag, great for little wipe overs after every clean. Nice one mate :)

Love you're videos man great work

I agree it's a brilliant product, I used it on my previous bike over 5 winters. The only problem I found was it seems to attract all the road grime and after a few weeks the bike looked a bit of a state. I tended to leave it without washing until the spring when it needed a full bottle of de- greaser to get the bike clean. However, it came up a treat.

Another peach! Cheers for posting. Off to get spraying :)

The only stuff standing in the way of my moto Guzzi and disintegrating. Great stuff , great video

Great vid on bike care for the Winter. We just need some warmer weather as I'm getting cabin fever.

I've been having reasonable success with Mucoff's bike spray. I think it's a similar product, but I'm definitely going to try ACF-50. RSM8

Loving the vids........Keep em coming

Thank you great clear video will be buying this

just rewatching this, in anticipation of March/April when I can get the bike out again. A year ago I struggled to find the stuff but its readily available here in Canada now.

Hi, great video thanks, couple of questions: - Do you was the salt off the bike still (if so how), after each ride or does this wash off the ACF50? Can you use on the exhaust? Cheers!
