I've been using the spray to hit areas of the bike after cleaning. Basically try to get into areas might collect dirt and moisture. Also with the little or spray straw I've given most of the little drain holes a quick squirt.

Excellent idea! Does it spray on clear?

Yep, it very much a cleaning/shine up product. I spay it in hard to reach areas as well as just spray on a rag and wipe areas down. Safe for pretty much all surfaces.

I was under the impression that it was a spray on leave on product. A lot guys on the Ural forum use it but spray it on for the winter wash it off in spring.

I guess it really depends how much you want to "leave on". Spraying it on thick and areas will drip for few days.

Is it silicone based, like Pro Prep?

ACF50 is also a lubricant so make sure to avoid brakes and tires when applying. Otherwise it is safe and recommended to be applied anywhere on the motorcycle.

I believe it, his are the ones that don't need no lock-tite and a few other choice nuts and bolts that gave me a hernia trying to loosen and expanded my vocabulary, rj

I used this for 3 years on my Triumph Tiger 1050 commuting all year exclusively by bike, so tons of rain and some salt in winter. Bike looked extremely good after 50,000 miles. That stuff works extremely well, literally next to no rust on that Tiger.
