ACF 50

[alien.46.uk]

Hi All,

I bought some ACF 50 and cleaned the bike up today, to start winter proofing it.

Anyway, cleaning went on for a while ... Then the time for the ACF 50 came ... but what confused me is the way it's applied.

I have read many write-ups stating that it should be misted on. But the can that it comes in just squirts big thick splodges of it and both bottle I had does it.

I ended up spraying rather a lot everywhere, then just wiping the excess off, which at £10 a bottle is rather pricey, especially as it used half of it.

My method left a thin layer of the oily substance on, but due to it being thick and heavy, I don't know if it went right into the nooks and crannies

I tried putting it into a spray bottle, like the one's used for water plants, but again, it just came out as a think splodge. Plus ruining the only spray thingy we have ...

would the spray lots on, wipe the excess off method work?

Thanks,

Luke.

Hi luke, thats how I used mine for a bit. Then I got bored as it does exactly what you describe so I split the can and put it in a jar and now brush it on


Note: should you decide to do this be careful when splitting the can as it's pressurised. I made a very small hole in it by 'corkscrewing' a knife into it and left it in the jar for about ten minutes until it stopped leaking out before opening up the whole can.

First thoughts are that you aren't shaking the can enough. If it's still splodgy try spraying it onto a rag and apllying it with that - that how I clean my tools with it.

Yeah it splodges out,your supposed to put it on a rag and then keep the rag in a sealed bag till next time ,the bumf is a good read but im not that convinced ,i use it on my off roader and it does no better or worse ,apart from the splodging,than wd40,but you have to use something

Isnt it in a spray bottle like SF365 where you just turn the nozle one way and it comes out as a mist and turn it the other way and it comes out as a jet?
