Hi All,
What do you guys tend to use to stop and or prevent corrosion to chassis etc.
I used to use ACF 50 on my 2 wheeler but my King quad will be off road a tad more than the race bike.

Thanks

Fluid Film.
I got hooked up with it years ago in here on a product write up.
It was made for the goverment for aluminum corrosion prevention. It surpassed the govements requirement by 7000%.
They are undercoating cars around here with it now.
It will prevent and stop rust.
I use it on the chain/cables/anything that moves and needs lubrication.
It's lanolin based. One of the few products that isn't harmfull when you get it on your hands.

 

Thank you however it looks like its easily removed by pressure washing which is what I do every few week. Have you found this a problem. Also it states 2-3 mil thick? is this right

 

I imagine a pressure washer would remove it. Altho I'd bet it still has a unseen film still on it.
Like I mentioned, they are using it to undercoat cars. It must stick on well.

 

Thanks

 

Every ATV owner dreads rust eating away at the precious metal of their vehicle. Rust can appear on any unprotected part of your car, including, but not limited to, the hinges, engine, trunk, and window frames. Rust happens when a combination of air and water is allowed to sit on your vehicle for prolonged periods of time. Prevention of such an occurrence would mean removing air and water.
Process of Corrosion Prevention

• A thorough cleaning away of dirt and debris.
• Spraying a sealant to keep harmful chemicals off.
• Let dry; once it’s finished, the product prevents rust from forming.

From experience in military packaging, when you have the proper moisture barrier materials, you can extend the lifespan of valuable equipment. It’s important to be pre-emptive when it comes to corrosion prevention or else you could wind up spending a lot more than you’d like.

 

Never did anything , never seen a rusty ATV, most parts are aluminum alloy the frame is steel but I never seen one rust or even the paint wear off much.
My old 1989 Big Bear (Still running) went thought he!l and is beat up,bent and has cracks in the plastic but there is not much rust.

Kinda like why no one worries about rust on motorcycles.

 

It could be chromoly doesn't like to rust due to the chromium. You'd have to have something out of the ordinary to make it rust... like a leaking battery or salt water or just sitting in water all the time.

 

I give the author a big congrats.
He's trying to make his machine long lived.
I do agree that little to nothing really needs to be done. I too have old machines and rust is the last thing I worry about.

 

There is rust behind the wheels and near cv joints and some of the paint is bubbling a little so there is rust underneath. I just thought that for a little money I could prevent seized / rusty components.
The quad is a farm quad and is used daily in muck, horse sh*t which rusts wheel barrows in weeks. hence why I wanted to be preventative.

Thanks for all the responses I think I will try the ACF50.
