Acf-50

Ok stupid pedro time again, when applying acf 50 where and how much and basically im a bit of a spanner (see what i did there ) when it comes to this stuff ... is there places not to apply it and what do i need to do to the affected (rusty) areas before application ?

thanks

( bet u regret me signing up now eh )

 

as far as I know you spray it all over
google could be more helpfull

 

I tend to spray it into an "aerosol lid" then apply with a brush to the motor etc but reckon Gary is spot on mate, should be able to simply spray it liberally wherever needed.

 

Ok cheers guys ... I'm new to all this lookingafter my bike thing last year's winter took its toll on my Lil honda but she'sback from honda 2moro all shiney and new

 

Big or small they all need taking care of mate.

 

Places not to spray it would be your brake pads and discs surely...I just spray it on and then use a rag to spread it round a bit.

 

Should'nt affect pads or discs, I coat everything for winter and have never had any problems.

 

Spraying it on is a waste of money! Spray it onto a rag and smear it over everything. Obviously don't coat discs and pads on purpose , but there are such things as brake cleaner , so don't panic.

 

I wud buy the liquid form n pumpy spray thing, opposes to the aerosol. I find u waste less.

I spray on to a cloth n wipe the areas I can get to, and spray into areas I can't. Also when spraying, if the bottle / aerosol (whatever u chose) is warmer, the acf50 is less viscous n sprays / covers better. Ie house temp wud be good opposed to shed temperature.

 

I leave the can in warm water for a few mins to thin it down, goes much further, concentrate on the ferrous metal fasteners and the back spring, basically coat any part of the bike a magnet will stick to, not on the brake discs.

I saw the halo guys that looks like a wicked idea ... perhaps next Winter I'm gonna replace all the rusted parts in summer and then treat my old girl to a coating
