Paint sealant and rust inhibitor combo?

[petshark]

I've considered ceramic coating my new bike but have settled for a spray sealant for the time being. The product is P&S Beadmaker. The bottom line is that I want to keep it in good shape but I don't want to go the full detailing route. So we'll see how that works out.

But while it's snowing over here I am wondering how do these things mix with something like ACF-50 to avoid corrosion because of salt. P&S beadmaker works on everything; paint plastic, metal, ... but it will probably not protect against salt, right?

Should I divide the bike in different sections and use different products?

Never heard of PBS Beadmaker - though a quick google suggests it's very good.

ACF-50 is the tried and tested method, then in spring give it a good wash and everything is hunky dory underneath. I'd think ACF-50 would go over your beadmaker product without any issue - for the most parts it's just a slightly oily/sticky protective layer and I don't see why it wouldn't work over the top of something else.

You're asking a very specific question which is why the lack of answers.

You're thinking of mixing two products from different manufacturers to see what happens.

😁

What's the chemical content of PBS Beadmaker
And what's the chemical content of ACF-50?

Is there anything incompatible in one or the other?

You could melt your bike. 🤣

Possibly etch the paint.

Or one cancels out the properties of the other.

I don't know and don't like to offer advice apart from speak to both manufacturers.

They may agree or Poo-Poo your Cunning Plan.
Or they may suggest a more bettererer solution.

Looks like P&S Beadmaker is just designed to give a bit of UV protection and make water bead off paint. Seems like a weird idea to stick ACF over something that's designed to make things run off it. Why not just use the beadmaker on painted bits that dont need much protection like the tank and then use the ACF everywhere else?

Thank you for the replies!

You all make good points. I was not planning to use one product on top of the other and indeed more worried that they would not get along.
I would like to have the benefits of P&S beadmaker and have bought a bottle but then realized that this will most likely not protect against oxidation. Both products are sprays so keeping them apart is difficult, that's why I had hopes that someone already tried this and could give me a heads-up.

I think you can spray Scotoiler FS365 on the whole bike except the brakes and tyres.

I drenched my K1300 in scottoiler365.
The paint still fell off.
