I see a lot of adverts for Lanoguard and it's benefits for the underbelly of cars. Has anyone used it with any degree of success on bikes? Is it overhyped rubbish anyway?
Any good options as well as ACF50 is all good info.

Ex workmate of mine swears by it and reckons its better than Waxoil but I don't know details.

Edit, apart from.the fact he reckons its ok on rubber bushings which he reckons waxoil isnt.

Seen a couple of youtube things about Lanoguard but that was people having it done rather than actual evidence it works. But the idea makes sense, block access to water/oxygen and no corrosion.

Re: ACF50 Ride mag and Bennetts rated XCP as better. Not used either so can't comment.

I had my 2 sleeping bikes out of the garage today, gs/mt. Both were plastered in acf50 in October I think it was. Both bikes started on the button and the engines still look wet with it and smoked like mad when I started them, been 3/4 months but they look great.

Imo, it's great for pre storage for a few months but if regular using I'd imagine it all burns off the hot bits and maybe washes off the other bits after a few weeks aswel.

The story is that rolls Royce contacted a wool processing plant and wanted to buy all of the oils surplus after the wool had been processed, they then used it to rust proof their cars.
I've got ac2001 mk4 golf, I've been thinking of tarting it up a bit , I'd use this as it's thinner than waxoil and looks less messy

Mentioned before I think but the hoooge sewage works at Esholt in W Yorks used to extract the thickest, stickiest lanolin-grease you ever did see - using filter presses - when the wool industry was a going concern and the waste water just went into the sewers.

British Rail used it to lube rolling stock axles.
