I second that, it's very good at driving out moisture and keeping it out

When you say covered, are we talking a liberal spray all over all the metal bits?

My bike lives outside all year so could do with something to help it out

Everywhere apart from tyres and brake discs and pads. For most areas it is best applied by a 1"  brush, sparingly though as excess just ends up on the floor as it is very liquid.

 I buy it in 950ml bottles + spray bottle for just over £30 on ebay works out cheaper that way if you use a lot ..and I apply just as as Mark says...

I use a Garden Centre Sprayer, but with mixed results. Sometimes I just spray onto a cloth and wipe that.

Those with compressors are luckier.

If you warm it before spraying it makes it more misty less gloopy so good to apply all over nooks and crannies. If you have not got a compressor

keep hearing about ACF 50 - always kept my bikes outside untill recently but think ill still give it a liberal application when I get some!

back to the original question though - don't people use WD40 for contacts? (much cheaper)
