hmmmm
i have just bought some but i think i'll just use it on the the wheels, forks, and engine area, just leave the wax on the body as i dont fancy greasy plastics but then they aren't likely to corrode

Beware that Scottoiler FS365 is water soluble therefore of limited value for a British winter.

Unless you apply it after every ride as directed :

Hand on heart, if you ride all year would you do that? Far better to utilise the ACF 50 which will last longer than one wet ride.

I ride all year, and only use it when the salt is down, i also use acf50, can't be too careful

It depends how meticulous you are and if you have OCD like I do. It's ACF50 for the winter as it sticks and doesn't easily wash off. However, there are still small quantities of salt on the roads in high summer, so some people like myself use a corrision inhibitor during these months as well. FC365 is easy to apply, works well and because it washes off with water makes the bike easy to clean when getting rhe bugs off. Also helps protect metalwork from the acidic bug splatter.Originally Posted by Sharik
And I ride all year round to.

I've found the best protector against salt is cheap chain lube.
I apply on the forks, engine covers and engine sump (and the chain from time to time...). It looks horrendous but is brilliant protection. Wash it off one a month and re-apply... Works of alloy wheels as well!!

Robin - is this now all set up for the 28th? Looking forward to my gleaming bike [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
