Another fan of ACF-50, get the aerosol version for ease of use, spray everywhere but not near the brakes, then wipe excess off after 20 mins or so. It creeps into crevices you didn't know you had!

I've used ACF50 in the past, but found it a bit difficult and messy to use. The same people make Corrosion Block grease, which has the same properties as ACF50, but is much easier to apply and stays where you want it:

It seems that most anti corrosion and inhibitors all seem to have the same properties. Lubricating, water repelling, but greasy and comes off fairly easily... wanted to see if ACF was a similar story. I have some ordered and will give it a try |

ACF50 might be good for cracks and crevices, but it requires constant reapplication on exposed parts. It did nothing to keep my steel exhaust from rusting.

Dinitrol products are the best I,v used, I,v used their Rig coat and cavity wax on 3 different GTS's, none showed signs of rust, my P200e will be getting a dose shortly.
