I use it on my winter rides, it is very very good at what it does, stopping your bike disintegrating in the winter salt - even more so since the councils started mixing molasses into the road salt (creating a sticky salty mess - worse than napalm)
Generally I cover the bike, and I mean cover, at the start of winter and don't wash it, other than a hose down with cold water now and then, until the spring when I give it a good clean. It always comes up a treat, but in between times it looks like crap. Occasionally I would spray some of the Scottoil anti-corrosion stuff over the bike as sort of a top-up.
I've a NC750X that I'm about to trade (dunno what for, anything that doesn't make me want to ride off a cliff maybe) and it looks like crap, the dealer asked if was ACF50'd and that increased the offer on the bike by �500 !! The NC foes look like crap, but there is a confidence that underneath it is nice and new looking.
If you like your bike looking good all the time, then it's not for you. If you want your bike looking great in the spring after riding all winter then it is for you. Correctly applied it's a gift from the gods...... (if your god happens to wear a helmet, gloves and fly ridden smile
)
