Thanks to Skidmarx for supplying the samples of acrylic, which are offcuts from the production of their excellent aftermarket screens.

Flat steel plates were cleaned with 99.9% pure isopropyl alcohol, dried and coated with the protectants before being left for 24 hours. Each plate was then coated in fine sand, shaken to dislodge any excess, then rinsed with a hose. Bulldog BDX 01 was one of the big surprises, given that it’s a multi-purpose spray; to have out-performed ACF-50 (when applied in a light coat with a compressor) is very impressive. Keep in mind though that I’m only testing it as a corrosion protectant, and haven’t assessed its lubricity performance. If used solely for rust inhibiting, there are cheaper and more effective products.There are plenty of corrosion inhibitors out there that promise months or even years of protection, but my testing indicates that – at least for a regular winter rider who keeps their bike clean – this is might not be the case. This isn’t an exhaustive list of corrosion protectants, but it does cover the most popular that were available at the time of testing. As soon as possible I’ll carry out another test, which will include the following: However, it’s been out of the scope of my testing to look at lubrication performance – where relevant – and this is a test that’s purely trying to find the best way to stop your motorbike from going rusty… I drilled 2.5mm holes (with a pillar drill for consistency) in all the samples of the three different plastics, then carefully inserted stainless steel M3 self-tapping screws to create stress risers that highlight any incompatibilities between the material and the chemical. Thanks to trail and adventure parts manufacturer Rally Raid products for supplying the aerosol lids used as sample dishes from their sister company Masplas Mouldings.

Podle našich zkušeností 0,5 až 1 litr, to znamená, že při zakoupení 5 litrových kanystrů vyjde jedno základní ošetření 300 – 600 Kč. Povrch je třeba očistit od hrubýchnečistot. Po nástřiku je nutno nechat ošetřenou plochu zaschnout, pro zvýšení výdrže případně nástřik opakovat. Při důkladném dvojnásobném ošetření podvozku jsou investice do XCP max. 1 000 – 1 200 Kč. Ceny jsou srovnatelné v celé Evropě. České ceny jsou pak ve spodní hladině, přitom české zastoupení musí zajistit řadu legislativních povinností z hlediskaznačení a balení. Obchodní marži máme tu nejmenší možnou a zatím jsme do cen ani nepromítli problémy způsobené odchodem Velké Británie (kde se XCP vyrábí) z Evropské unie. It can be buffed up, and as we’ve seen from the tests doing so still retains a high level of protection compared to other products. But doing that around engine fins, linkages and the numerous other nooks and crannies around a bike is going to be fairly impractical unless you want to devote some serious time and energy to it. Clear Coat po nanesení a zavadnutí vytvoří měkký, tenký a nelepivý film. Clear Coat bude chránit před rzí a vnějšími vlivy, zatímco povrch bude stále vypadat skvěle a bude odolný vůči nečistotám. In the Best Motorcycle Cleaners test I used samples of painted steel, anodised aluminium, ABS plastic, polycarbonate, acrylic and chain O-rings to ensure material compatibility.

Clear soft film

It creates a long lasting soft film coating to protect any steel, metal or alloy surface against the effects of rust and corrosion. ACF-50 can be a little reluctant to come out of the aerosol can on a cold day, so keep it indoors for a while, or put it in some warm water. XCP ONE is a multi-purpose maintenance spray, designed to loosen, lubricate, displace moisture, clean and protect.

It also doesn’t ‘soak’ into or enhance rubbers and plastics such as handlebar grips and switchgear so you’d probably want to avoid applying to those. Although it won’t hurt these surfaces in any way, getting it on your gloves then using them to wipe away rain or bugs. can leave smearing on the visor. Pokud chcete ušetřit, je nejlepší řešením zakoupení balení 5 litrů a prostředky XCP aplikovatpomocí tlakové pistole. I carried out the same test here, leaving the samples in the products for two weeks as, while they’re intended to provide a protective barrier against corrosion on metals, it’s almost impossible to apply them without getting them on the rest of the bike. Even if it’s wiped away, any product will be coating the insides of the bodywork and many other parts of the machine. XCP Clear Coat is easy to apply from the spray bottle and hangs onto no more grit after rinsing than TechCote. It can also be poured straight into a paint gun’s pot and applied with a compressor. Clear Coat in an aerosol can is extremely easy to use and only missed out on a Best Buy as the bottle is better value. If you don’t mind paying a bit extra, and won’t want to apply it with a compressor, it’s worth the money.

XCP Rust Blocker is a soft, anti-corrosive compound. It creates a soft, long lasting protective barrier to protect any steel, metal or alloy surface against the effects of rust and corrosion.

These products were all selected based on their claims, or after recommendation by the Bennetts Facebook community, but it’s obvious that those designed specifically as corrosion protectants tended to fare the best in this corrosion test; GT85, for instance, isn’t sold as a corrosion inhibitor but many people use it as such, assuming it’s superior to WD-40 (both products are from the same parent company). Tradiční antikorozní ochrana v automobilovém průmyslu má obvykle gumový, polyuretanový, voskový, parafínový nebo asfaltovýzáklad. Tato ochrana sice poskytuje silnou, ale těžko odstranitelnou a opravitelnou ochrannou vrstvu. Note that the Muc-Off Motorcycle Protectant featured in the review was the product offered during the first part of this test, carried out in 2018. The company's new HC B1 wasn't included as it was released just as I completed this second stage of testing. It'll be in a future test.
