The first one doesn't work out much cheaper than I got it off the shelf at my local accessories shop for. The spray pump one is a bit cheaper, but a little goes a long way if used properly, so I probably wouldn't buy it in that quantity. Happy using the wipe-on-with-cloth method now, but I'm not riding much this winter anyway.

How often do you reckon to re apply it to more exposed areas at this time of year? Thinking fork lowers, downpipes collector box etc. ?
It will be OK in the end. If it's not OK, it's not the end.

Just done my bike in this stuff. I use to use SF365 when it was garaged but not as good since its now stored outside under a cover. I just sprayed everything and wiped down with a cloth if I saw runs. As i understand it you only freshen the application if water stops beading and you wash down with a car/bike shampoo. I am assuming that Muc Off bike cleaner will be to harsh to use on the bike unless I want to totally strip the protection off of the ACF50.

Can any one verify this?

Cheers Daz

I thought I had better ACF my FZ after all this talk  :rolleyes

Just a quick wipe over with a rag, need to get a clean paintbrush to get in them hard to reach places.
