Looking forward to taking her out from Morecambe to Whitby this weekend!
Now that looks clean ... Isnt acf50 meant to be put on a bike and left there to keep out the weather? never pictured it as a cleaner..

No its just there is more of a kind of a wet look going on, one ride and the stuff on the engine will be gone in a cloud of smelly smoke (which I like )
If I buy a can, can you do my bike too? It truly needs it!
The thing with doing it out of winter or lets say doing it in the dry summer is that dust sticks to it and looks dirty
When I first looked into ACF 50 I was given the impression fromm all the bumpf that it would dry and leave behind a protective coat but it just stays a tacky mess

Then just reapply until a proper thorough coat of ACF50 when winter comes round.
FS365 is really shit, there was a thread on here with a link to a website where a bloke conducted a test and only acf50 worked.

The idea us you wasg the crap off your bike and coat in 365, repeat. Its not marketed as an ACF50 style long term treatment, but a constant repeat application approach.That test doesn't take into account the repeated cleaning and applying cycles, so is a very unfair test.
If that is the case you should be washing and reapplying every 12 hours, because within 24 hrs it was very rusty.
