Haven't heard of it but their website looks like it was made in the 90s!

Have you considered POR-15?

Yes I am using it, it's quite different from POR-15 or Hammerite in that it is lubricant and water repellent with anti corrosion properties, like a thicker, longer lasting WD-40 on steroids where POR-15 and Hammerite are more of a paint.

ACF-50 is used in aviation and marine, bikers and offroaders also use it.

I also use it on my bikes. Theres wuite a few videos on youtube testing it against other products and it usually fairs well against others.

If its good for aircraft its good for my bike, car or gate 😊
