This is the 946ml (1 US quart) bottle, supplied with a separate trigger spray bottle to decant into for application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt works as an ultra-thin fluid film rather than a thick coating. Sprayed onto clean metal it creeps into threads, seams and joints, displaces moisture and road salt, and chemically stops the corrosion cells that are already there. The film then stays active on the surface and keeps new corrosion from starting. Lear quote protection of up to 24 months from one application, although on a car driven through salted winter roads you should expect to reapply sooner. It contains no silicone, PTFE, wax or water, so it does not go sticky or build up, and it meets the requirements of MIL-PRF-81309 Type II and III.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor coilover owners the routine is simple: treat the damper bodies, threaded collars, spring seats and lower mounts before winter, then fit a set of \u003ca href=\"\/products\/tegiwa-coilover-suspension-shock-socks-covers-300mm\"\u003eTegiwa coilover socks\u003c\/a\u003e over the top to keep the grit off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVolume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 946ml (1 US quart, 32 fl oz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ultra-thin fluid film corrosion inhibitor and lubricant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Meets MIL-PRF-81309 Type II and III\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProtection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 24 months from one application, as quoted by the manufacturer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree from:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silicone, PTFE, wax and water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSupplied with:\u003c\/strong\u003e Trigger spray bottle for application\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStops existing corrosion cells and prevents new ones forming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreeps into threads, seams and lap joints where water collects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisplaces moisture and neutralises road salt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSafe on ferrous and non-ferrous metals, paint, chrome, plastics and most rubber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSafe on electrical connectors and electronic components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThin film that does not go sticky or attract a thick layer of dirt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlso frees seized nuts, bolts and adjuster collars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeveloped for aircraft and used by motorsport teams and workshops\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the Box?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x ACF-50 Anti-Corrosion Formula, 946ml bottle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x trigger spray applicator bottle, empty, for decanting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoilover damper bodies, threaded collars, locking rings and spring seats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuspension arms, subframes, bolts and brackets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectrical connectors, earth points, battery terminals and sensor plugs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngine bays, underbody, exhaust hangers and fasteners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMotorcycles, trailers, tools and garage equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNot suitable for:\u003c\/strong\u003e brake discs, pads and any other friction surface, or the inside of fuel systems.

Spray it on or wipe it on with a cloth, working it into threads and joints, then wipe away any runs or excess. Mask off the brake discs and calipers before spraying near the suspension, and leave the car for a short while for the film to spread before driving. Reapply when water stops beading on the treated surface. If it gets onto the engine or exhaust it will smoke briefly on the first start, which is normal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs ACF-50 safe to use on electrics?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. It is approved for electrical systems and electronic components and can be sprayed directly into connectors and switches to displace moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I spray it near the brakes?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep it well away from discs, pads and drums. Cover the brakes before treating the coilovers and suspension, and clean any overspray off with brake cleaner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does it last?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLear quote up to 24 months of protection from a single application. On a daily driver that sees salted roads and regular washing, check the treated areas through the winter and reapply once water no longer beads on the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it wash off?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eACF-50 is not water soluble, so it survives normal washing and rain. A pressure washer or a strong degreaser aimed directly at the treated area can strip it, so reapply after a deep clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it remove rust that is already there?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt gets into existing corrosion and stops it spreading, but it does not dissolve heavy rust. Clean loose rust off with a wire brush first, then apply ACF-50 to the bare metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I paint over it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The film prevents paint from adhering, so paint or powder coat first and apply ACF-50 afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy is the trigger spray a separate bottle?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 946ml bottle is a bulk container. Decant a small amount into the supplied trigger spray so it is easier to handle, and the main bottle stays sealed between uses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"ACF","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59062867657087,"sku":"ACF-10032","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/6251\/6693\/files\/acf-50.webp?v=1793641733","url":"https:\/\/coilovers.co.uk\/products\/acf-50-corrosion-preventive-1-usqt-946ml-bottle-with-trigger-spray","provider":"Coilovers.co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
