ACF- 50 works well in aircraft.

Excellent anti corrosive that migrates through all the seams......

Yep, someone in the Air Force used it on the GSX1100 before I bought it. Looked nice at first, then when a few weeks went by, all, virtually all the chrome was like totally faded. :'(

The UK mag "Classic & Motorcyle Mechanics" ran a "road test" on various cleaning products including this, WD40, Gunk etc.

This stuff won by miles.

Ghost,
are you saying this is good or bad? ...you mean it migrates through the seams and then gets in the engine (not good) or that it really cleans everything really well (good)?

so...so far we are not in agreement on this product.  Any more of you guys actually have any direct experience with it?
