I've acf50'd it and that's it really apart from a wash every weekend
Do you find that washing removes the acf 50?

Washing sounds a bit extreme. Pointed a hosepipe at mine this weekend and looking good now all the crud is gone (well not counting what I picked up this morning). Will do it again and top up the ACF before I go on my Christmas hols.

Having never used it before I've just invested in some ACF50 and am kind of assuming that it forms a coating so you can just hose off the dirt with fresh clean water. I imagine that if you wash the bike normally i.e. with shampoo and a sponge you will end up taking the ACF50 off.

Using ACF50 is easy, I spray some into the cap then use a brush to brush it everywhere, as spraying it via the can gets it everywhere bar where you want it, once on dirt tends to stick to it, just hose the salt of the brakes and the bike every ride, touch up bits that look clean, leave the dirty bits, as that is dirt binding to the ACF50, then in the spring clean the bike using gunk, a sponge and shampoo will have some effect, but it's slow and not as good as using the gunk or similar, I use some engine degreaser from Eurocar parts, in a 5 litre tin, but it works the same as gunk!
