gonzo 2,214 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Toured scotland last summer in the car, loved it !apart from the" midges" they were awful. the west coast coast was the worst.and on mull. I got eaten alive, even with the sprays they sell in petrol stations at £6 a pop.I was told you could buy a croft for £10,000 ,! dont know how crofters used to live up there,(and in a kilt ) the east coast was not as bad, and by the time we got to edinburgh it was fine , Came back to the west country with 27 bites on my face and neck that lasted 3 weeks, and that was me wearing a neck tube and a bobble hat , two weeks time were off to corfu ! hopefully no beastys over there,. 3 1 Link to post

neojynx 722 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Makes you wonder who to believe and under what conditions the tests are really done. http://f2mcltd.blogspot.co.uk/2016/12/xcp-rust-blocker-v-acf50-testing-and.html I ACF my bike every weekend after its weekly clean. 20,000 miles on the clock and ridden throughout winter, my bike still looks like new.

ScooterCommuter 151 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I was put off xcp because of its 'stickiness' but might give it a go sometime. Happy with acf50 so far though. Link to post

Mike5100 2,061 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 My results were similar to the conclusions in the blog that said ACF50 was better than XCP. I had high hopes for the XCP but from what I could tell it was gone in no time Mike Link to post
roddy 845 Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 If you go to 'Bike Social' they have a very good in depth test on all the main rust inhibitors spanning a 6 month period on bits of metal regularly sprayed with salt and water,best test I have come across so far. Link to post
