Putoline PPF-52... Corrosion X.... Viable ACF50 alternatives?

Re: Waxoyl, I've never used this but I know it's popular with car owners, but not so much with motorcycle owners for some reason. When you say it looks naff, in what way, what does it look like?

The waxoyl that I used was like a sloppy thin grease that dries into a thin film on the bike. It's a bit thicker than ACF50, just looks a bit dull and 'preserved'. I only used it on the underside of my fuel tanks, and on the inside of the frame. Basically anywhere that I didn't go to on a regular basis. I never saw any rot wherever I put it, and didn't really have to reapply it.

Put it this way, it was on the underside of my R1 fuel tank for nearly 7 years, and I didn't touch it!!

The thick black stuff that Deadeye is talking about is the waxoyl underseal you plaster all over the floorplan of cars. It's mingin stuff almost like tar!
