Have just run out of acf-50, the aerosol type, and have been meaning to buy the pump spray and big bottle type for ages. However, I've been too lazy and tight so I had a rummage to see what else I had and found a can of Putoline PPF-52 corrosion inhibitor. Supposed to do the same job as acf50 and the like.
Have to say, I've been really impressed. Whether it is as effective as acf-50 long term I do not know but, it is an absolute breeze to spray on (ie. doesn't dribble and spit like acf50 cans) and the bike looks a lot better for it. I might try this instead for a bit - although I'll keep some acf at bay just in case.
Got me thinking, acf has a great reputation and it certainly has worked for me over the years. But it does attract crap and is a royal mess to apply, not to mention expensive. Might be time to try something else?
Has anybody heard about Corrosion X? A similar product designed for aeronautical application but apparently meets US military standards that commercially available Acf does not.
Or maybe there is another product out there that trumps them all, I'm all ears.
