Worth a look

Seems ACF isn't entirely the dogs danglies these days. The video is good

Where in Scotland are you going? might be better covering it (and yourself) in midge repellent.

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,.

Makes you wonder who to believe and under what conditions the tests are really done.

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.

I was put off xcp because of its 'stickiness' but might give it a go sometime. Happy with acf50 so far though.

I'm doing lands end to jog late may  expecting the worst  so can only be better  , right  !

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

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.
