I am also a tester (a software tester). Your testing skills are awesome! Learning about products through detailed experiments and giving your excellent evaluations on them. Very talented at what you do, cheers!
You absolutely nailed that video. Just bought a bike that had ACF50 applied regularly and am pleasantly surprised at how nice it is... However, I had no idea there were products that absolutely wiped the floor with it! Thanks for making such an irrefutable and thorough test.
John, you truly are an asset to Bennetts / Bike Social and the WORLD’s biking community with this kind of practical and useful tests.Thank for all the work.
managed to get my hands on XCP's clear coat rust blocker here in the Philippines where it randomly rains in the middle of a hot sunny day - I ride my bike almost everyday and this product sure does help. Thanks for the thorough testing and review of these products!
Such a lot of effort you put in , thank you. Previously used ACF 50 and had applied by all year biker, then one year he said I could have XCP rust blocker but was stickier so I stuck with ACF. The last 2 winters I’ve done it myself with XCP clear coat. Great review 👍🏻
It was having my bike done by AYB that I picked up on the compressor method of application; they certainly do a good job for a very fair price. Cheers, John
I don't own a bike, but came here to protect my tools (pilar drill, table saw, hand tools, clamps, etc) Due to poor shed, they are getting rusty. Excellent video! I think I have a much better idea of what to get now. Many thanks.
After the first video I started going with XCP Rust Blocker aerosol and never looked back. That stuff sticks like glue and provides 10/10 rust protection, just know it will burn away and stain your exhaust pipes.
Finally an objective scientific presentation comparing the products I have questions about. Appreciate your disclosure that you have no commercial bias. Thank you very much for your time and efforts!
Brilliant . Very methodical. My plan on corrosion protection, and also for my protection , is to be a fair weather motorcyclist, and roll the bike back into my insulated and extremely water tight shed where I run a desiccant type dehumidifier . Yeah, let's not consider the electricity cost for running a desiccant type (not compressor type, they don't work in cold places) dehumidier ! I'm probably also going to use some XCP spray after watching this.
I usually use Motul products and WD-40 to keep my bike looking nice. Instead of drying it with a machine, just take your bike for a short ride and the wind + engine heat will dry up the bike. Then let it cool down and use protective products on the desired parts.
how does it hold up to heated parts? Such as the exhaust and engine, I've had issues with rust on exhausts and got some XCP after tons of research but worried how heat affects it. ACF I believe (maybe was XCP) says stains might be visible after heat exposure
I just came upon this and may I say, Great effort mate. Thanks for taking the time to do this. Can I suggest next time, could you write the tags a bit clearer please. I had a hard time trying to read the different products. Love the ZX9R too. I have 2 E2 models myself.
If I may suggest something, its a very good thing to also talk about how some of these products "treat" rust after its already there. I had this on my GS's front axle bolt , and wheel weights. Scrubbed with a brass brush and applied ACF50 its went black and shiny, looks brand new and is protected. Applied it directly to my center stand that was also having rust issues and again the ACF50 blackened it out and seems to have neutralized the rust.. not sure if its permanent or if it will hold up after a thorough wash but it did seem to bring up those pieces back to a normal look. I'm not sure the other products advertise rust treatment as something they do but would be something to test and perhaps educate us as not everyone has a brand new shiny bike. Awesome content as always!
Superb work John I'm sure i speak for a lot of bikers saying we appreciate all the hard work you do I just started using xcp clear coat so far so good 👍
New to biking and have to store mine outside. Literally just bought a bottle of ACF50 from SBS as everyone was raving about it. Might go for XCP clear coat now 🤔
ACF does still work and it looks great, but in my tests it doesn't have the staying power of XCP. Keep using it, but I'd top it up every month. Cheers, John
Wow this video is on par with project farm style testing. Thank you for going to the effort. The other products that interest me would be bilt hamber, waxoyl clear original, jenolite clear, tetroseal clear.
For bikes still ACF good since the XCP is more of an oily and sticky nature which might attract more dirt.remember John is using the worst test conditions which the bikes might not go through in the usual situations
It's not bad stuff, but for ultimate protection, this test does indicate there are better performers. It'll still leave your bike looking great, and it smells good i the garage when you've done it. Cheers, John
@@MickyInsegnami if you are using xcp you might have to use air compressor to ensure a thin application ..otherwise it will be sticky ..but xcp as John highlighted is giving more protection ..May be mixing xcp and ACF 40: 60 would be fine ..let us ask John
I think it's best (whatever product you choose) to spray on a rag/cloth and wipe on rather than spray on, and wipe off excess, and more so just to spray on and leave of course. My bike is outside day and night all year, what I like to do is reapply on exposed metal surfaces after every wash to be sure it's as well protected as possible, a standard spray can of ACF-50 lasts much longer this way in my experience.
@@newmillennial4248 If you just want to protect with a product such as ACF-50, take the carrier off the bike, clean and dry it and wipe all over with a rag sprayed with the product of choice, none will get on your disc or pads. If the rust is more than new surface rust you'll need to sand it or get it blasted off, ACF-50 is good at removing new surface rust. Sometimes these parts are protected by paint, you could also repaint, or paint it anyway instead if you like, although you can still add ACF-50 occasionally for extra protection if you go that route.
WOW thanks a lot for this Video ? information this is a gold mine XPC is the way to go for me . Even though I dont ride when the Salt and grit is plastered over the roads
A bit late but I wanted to say a massive thank you. I had been using 2 of the brands which didn't even rank. And as for "why not on brake discs" a friend of ours 20 years ago sprayed a moisture repellent all over everything (including his discs) and when he had to touch his brakes, he did a Tom cruise and "flew right by" and crashed, he was OK but not the bike. Anyway as I said a big thanks for the video, subbed 👍
Thank you 🙏 I’m at ease now, there so many products with disclaimers of all sorts out there didn’t know what was good or how good they claimed to be. Cheers
Another mammoth effort! Really interesting that the aerosol cans came out better than the paint-sprayers as I’ve seen a few forum advocate that paint-sprayers are the only way to go. Great testing and really informative!
A paint gun can help drive the protectant into the nooks and crannies as it mists in there, but it's not got the same level of protection. Cheers, John
Think I'll go with TechCote ACS TC200 spray for the bits I can see, and XCP Rust Blocker applied with a compressor for the bits I can't see! Great video, keep up the good work. 👍
This is so much information for 16mins of screen time! I really appreciate this kind of stuff. May i get some advice? Which among these are best to use for underchassis of old cars?(with some moderate rust of course) to prevent further rust.
I got a niu electric moped. I was careless and blissfully ignorant enough to not pay attention to cleaning and rust prevention and now 3 years later it’s in a bit of a state. Hope this video helps
Outstanding job! Same as the previous test. Although I'm a bit surprised that, as an independent tester, you agreed to exclude some product and did the comment on Muc-Off product. You can show whatever you seem suitable for a test. That's what YT DIY tests are all about. I am actually looking for some test/comparison of wax-based corrosion protectants for engine bay of my jet ski where stickiness is not a problem. Perhaps you could recommend any. Thanks!
This is the second time I've done one of these videos, and before each I asked for details of anything I'd missed in the planning. I'll add it to the list for the next one I have to do; if I can get it, I'll include it. It's 'Inox' by the way, having just googled it. Nah, not really... it's all a conspiracy. I'm paid by lizards to only test certain products.
totally brilliant, thanks so much. What dedication. I think how often you clean - dry-and re-apply and care is a big(ist) factor...as I have shit load of acf50 in garage and muc-off stuff, I'll use that first but I know what to buy after.... fantastic vid;-)
I'm actually rather a fan of Scottoiler Yes you need to be generous when applying it, but it's easy to get off, the nozzle can be set to atomize, or jet, to hose down those hard to get spots (and with a lot of plastics, there are a lot of hard to get to spots) And I have yet to have had problems with it on my rotors, (and again, a bit of warm water and it's clean again) never noticed any issue Low cost is handicapped by greater required application, so there's no bonus there ...It also has less risk of igniting on red hot exhausts 😆
If you do this test again with some of the new stuff out there, can you consider adding the following.... ACF-50 Corrosion Block (their industrial stuff) LPS3 Fluid Film
Hi John..many thanks for the effort going into making this video ..excellent..for your kind info there is an ASTM D130 method for copper corrosion .you may adopt something similar in future if suitable ..Good luck
Great video, reminds me of Project Farm, which is good. Road salt is terrible, so I avoid riding in the off season and my garden hose would be frozen solid here anyway.
Does XCP flow into very small crevices the way that ACF50 does? ACF50 is used in the aviation industry mainly for this reason. I will find any gap and fill even, even aircraft rivets. XCP clearly looks better on flat metal surfaces, but the most damaging rust occurs around welds and other nooks and crannies in the frame and around bolts and nuts, etc., not on broad flat surfaces. It would be interesting to take some bolted assemblies and treat them and see which products best prevent rust between the bolt and the metals affixed by the bolts and on the threads between the bolt and the nut, etc. Based on the aviation experience, I suspect ACF50 may work better in those circumstances.
Hi, XCP Rust Blocker CLEAR COAT actually has slightly better surface spread / penetration than ACF-50. Happy to send some further info if that helps :-)
The xcp and techcote aren't available in the USA in 2023. What are currently the best budget rust products? Love your channel. First winter for my bike is upcoming. Thank you
Next time you do this test again can you include Bilt Hamber Dynax S-50 Anti-Corrosion Wax (750ml) and Bilt Hamber Dynax UC Clear Film Anti-Corrosion Wax 750ml please.
Take a bow John you've saved many viewers so much time and money! For myself just prior to watching I was about to buy Jenolite rust shield and wonder whether it might be included in your tests? and also might you use your used plates to compare rust removal treatments for use prior to applying a blocker.
Thanks! I'll add that to the list for the next instalment. I think for rust removal I'd have to ensure all the plates were consistently corroded... one to think about for a future project. Cheers, John

Only a few more days for the UK at least, and we'll be able to tour in our own countries if nothing else! Cheers, John
XCP is a top product. I use it for everything - motorcycles, cars and RC models.
One variable you have never addressed in all your vids which is an inherent factor in engines is how these products perform under heat!

Under your car try spraying diesel as it creeps and protects and is readily available might smell a bit but is good for longevity.
Diesel attracts dirt

Wow, very thorough, and appreciate the methodology you developed.
Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers, John
I'm actually rather a fan of Scottoiler
Yes you need to be generous when applying it, but it's easy to get off, the nozzle can be set to atomize, or jet, to hose down those hard to get spots (and with a lot of plastics, there are a lot of hard to get to spots)
And I have yet to have had problems with it on my rotors, (and again, a bit of warm water and it's clean again) never noticed any issue
Low cost is handicapped by greater required application, so there's no bonus there
...It also has less risk of igniting on red hot exhausts 😆

For myself just prior to watching I was about to buy Jenolite rust shield and wonder whether it might be included in your tests? and also might you use your used plates to compare rust removal treatments for use prior to applying a blocker.
Thanks! I'll add that to the list for the next instalment. I think for rust removal I'd have to ensure all the plates were consistently corroded... one to think about for a future project. Cheers, John
