ACF 50 or S100

Schuey

Hi Guys,

It's that time of year again to cover the bike in something to protect her from the elements. I have always used ACF50 on my previous bikes, try and wash once a week and cover in ACF50, it has always worked well, the only drawback is all the road muck sticks to it. The local HD dealer are promoting S100, which they say is just as good if not better, I just wondered even anybody had any thoughts or have used S100,

Thanks and keep it upright

i use S100 on the larger parts (fenders/engine cases) and it works but for the fastners and hard to reach bits i use ACF after it has been in a bowl of boiling water for 15mins as its comes out better and in a finer mist

update on S100 Total Cycle Corrosion Protectant - Harley Davidson Community

S100 can be just sprayed on and left as is or buffed out , once it sits for a bit it is not tacky. I use it more and more it also polishes out nice

I have not used ACF 50 but have used S100 on both my sportster and softail. S100 works very well, cleans with no hard rubbing most dirt and grime just rinse away. Caution though, do not use S100 on a warm bike and do not let it dry. Rinse it off with copious amouhnts of water. I think you will be pleased with the results.

Thanks lads for all the info, didn't know about putting ACF50 in a bowl of hot water for 15 mins before use, cheers HOBBIT, always wondered why it was a bit of a pain to spray on the bike, learn something knew everyday. First time I used it forgot about covering the discs, and wondered why I didn't stop at the bottom of my road


Thanks and keep it upright
