after applying ACF50 (oily, rust preventative fluid) to the suspension components of my minivan last night..I'm curious how others apply this sticky, drippy, messy, smelly liquid? I like the look of the suspension, kind of looks like it was painted with black, glossy paint.
It was a particularly unpleasant experience (although also strangely satisfying). I put first the rear and then the front of my van up on ramps so I could slide under to apply. I used the included sprayer (wish it would spray a mist rather than the squirt gun like pattern it does spray, but probably not possible due to the thickness of the liquid) and a microfiber rag that was also soaked with ACF50 to smear on all the suspension components. I had a large absorbent covering on the floor and goggles and gloves on.
In a perfect world the vehicle would be up on a lift and the ACF50 applied through a sprayer connected to a large compressor.
For those who use it on your bikes do you spray rub and wipe until all is covered? How much of your bike do you cover? I was looking at my scoot and didn't notice many steel parts that would be exposed to the weather. I'm sure the frame would be a good target of the acf50...but since I don't ride in the rain I will pass for now on ACF50'ing my scoot or motorcycle.
