  • fs365 is also water based so washes off.

    Acf50 is super easy to apply. If you can spray a bottle and swoosh a cloth around you'll be fine. No different to cleaning the bathroom. Professional needed my arse; only for lazy people.

  • fs365 is also water based so washes off.

    Well yes. Sort of.

    It's oils suspended in water. So once it's dry you get a layer of oil that acts as a barrier. You can wash it off, but it's not like it just gets washed off by a bit of rain and normal riding.

    I'm still tempted to try acf50 but I've got tonnes of fs365 to get through first.

    My understanding was that you had to make sure that the surface is properly clean first otherwise you risk trapping contaminants against the surface. That was one of the things I wasn't 100% confident about doing.

    The thing I really need to do re cleaning is work out how to get the marks off the fins on my engine casing.

  • I just clean my bike well, apply acf then just wash it every now and again through winter. It has protected my ktm, no corrosion at all.
    Acf stays on ages, like all winter.
    You're over thinking it. Just clean your bike and then apply it.
