Cheers for this dude need to get mine done this year and been looking into each type this looks brilliant thanks.

Enjoyed watching this a lot, touching a very important subject 👍 while explaining what is going on like a PRO 💯

That was a very good video; excellent preparation before spraying the stuff on. 👍

Thanks for the great video. XCP is a top product. I use it for everything - motorcycles, cars and RC models. My uncle also on a private plane.

Your bike looks fab , I was going to use AC50 but having watched Bennits test and your video I’m going to use the XP’s aswell , thanks for showing us 👍👍🏍😎

Great video! Just to be sure to buff off any excess before it dries. That'll remove any drips or where you layed it on a little thick, it won't be as shiny but it will be enough to protect the bike! :)

I now use XCP too, I'm really impressed so far and using a spray gun is much better than the hand pump, I might try some other XCP products. BTW your bike is looking good.

just about to do the same job on a new tracer 7. If you've got a compressor you can use a mini HVLP gun rather than a full size. Slightly easier to use and more directional. Having said that, if you mange to get a good spray pattern at low pressure with a standard sized gun, it'll be quicker. Thanks for posting this up

The secret is to clean the absolute heck out of it first, polish everything, take your time. Then spray and maintain. Its excellent stuff. Cover. Tyres-Discs-Head & tail lights-seat-foot pegs-handlebar grips and levers.

Hi Sam, what makes your vlog stand out is the prep at the start, having sprayed all sorts in my past and made such a hash of it by having cheap spray guns and not fine tuning the spray pattern, much more critical with paint than this though. I use acf 50 and i have tried varying nozzles sizes but have found the 1.0 mm nozzle the best for misting. I remove my seat as I like to do the frame and electrics under the seat where condensation lurks and even raise the fuel tank to do the frame. I also use detailing brushes £5 on e bay to do my brake caliper bolts and housings as well as my wheels. When I wipe the excess off the bike with a microfibre cloth i keep the cloth is a plastic bag and use it to wipe the wheels. I dont know wether its meant for it but I do not lube my chain but paint it with acf then wipe. Current chain on 18000. Not tried this but loved the Bennets video. Wish I knew how to make a video. Theres something very therapeutic about seeing a bike this shiny and clean. The other thing i do is in between washes I used gt85 spray on and leave. I know it washes off but replenishes that finish as I only do acf twice a year. Well done on a great video and the look on your face on how the bike looks😎😎. Just bought an nc in the background too😎

Just found your channel for the first time, great video, I have a compressor and bike dryer on my list to 🎅 this year just for this purpose. Both this and the compressor video have hleped me ralise this is the way forward. I was gonna pay allyearbiker to do the bike at £85 per treatment but figure investing in the kit is an investment worth it in the long run. All the kit may cost a little over the cost of 2 applications but once ive done the treatment twice its almost paid for itself. Any long-term gremlins/ issues with that compresssor? You now have a new subscriber, keep up the great work.

Great review. I have watched other tests with this product on a brake disc outside . It out preformed acf50 big time where within 2 months the acf50 was rusting and the xcp was still protecting..

Great review again Sam. I have just purchased an ACF 50 bumper pack but will try this next time. I look forward to hearing how it holds up. The spray gun looks like it's a more efficient method of application than the squirty bottle too, making it even more cost effective. Cheers Sam 👍

Does this product have corrosion and rust protection? So does it really work?

I moved over to XCP from ACF awhile ago also mate, the only thing with XCP is how sticky it is- which is a pain to clean up but getting rid of excess with a cloth and heat does help a lot with that

Does it set/dry, or stay wet and or sticky?

Good video - thanks. You used XCP professional Rust Blocker Clear Coat here; there's also XCP professional Rust Blocker, with an orange label, rather than the blue. Any idea on the the difference(s)?

Great video! Just curious - this was posted May last year? How did you get on through the winter of 21-22? Did you find it survived washes after rides or did you have to reapply or even wash the bike?

While you do the engine casings, do you spay the exhaust. Just wondered what it was like on high temp areas. Does it burn off? What product do you use for the wheel rims

Sorry but I have another question regarding your Clarke Pro Spray gun. Why did you choose the 1.8mm nozzle as opposed to the smaller size 1.4mm? The reason I ask is that Machine Mart in their blurb for these spray guns recommend compressors with motors producing 3hp or more for the 1.8mm nozzle hub and 2hp or more with the 1.4mm nozzle gun. I have just bought the same compressor as you but the 50 litres one. I am not sure whether to get the 1.4mm or 1.8 nozzle spray guns? You didn't find any probs using the 1.8mm nozzle spray gun with your compressor? Also what cleaners did you use to prepare the bike before applying the XCF coating? Many thanks.

What about when you wash it again does it stay or need reapplying?

I believe that the xcp rust blocker is the one which people said was sticky but I think they came out with the clear coat to address those issues and it's not got the same sticky nature as the original one

Is that a huge tracer or a small man?? LOL might have been easier to just take the seat off, must try this stuff been using acf50 for years.

how does it hold up to heated parts? Such as the exhaust and engine, I've had issues with rust on exhausts and got some XCP after tons of research but worried how heat affects it. ACF I believe (maybe was XCP) says stains might be visible after heat exposure

Great video. Do you spray your tank as well?

Does it smoke when you first start the bike up, like acf50 does

How is XCP on matt paint finishes? Does it turn to gloss?

I honestly don't think car drivers and Joe Public appreciate to what lengths we, bike riders (well, some of us), go to in order to keep our beloved machines sparkling and road worthy all-year round.

do a long term vid plz

Great video do you just spay and leave it!!!!!!!

Get on with the product. Not the spray gun and air compressor!!!
