Picked up a tin of inhibitor and was going to give it a squirt on the underside of the bike and the pipes to see if it makes any difference.
Probably left it a bit late, now that we'll be heading out of winter in about a month. :lol

I use acf 50 every time I wash the bike or car.

Here's a very good set of reviews of the various corrosion inhibitors (Nooj from Shiny Bike posted the link to this on the Foc-U Facebook page and he's a guy I'd trust to know about this stuff!)

Check at the bottom of the review pages for a chart showing the effectiveness of all the products.
