Ging check out the All Year Biker link above. Exactly what they do, with an armed mist, supposes to work its way into threads and fine nooks etc better. Did it a few years back and superb result.

@ boupepo If I wanna take rubbish to the tip, a car is great. That's all I could think of for the car though.
@ Seb Thanks for those tips. Yeah, my storm survived last winter in tact, but I wanna be sure. Dem Viper cans ain't cheap.
ACF50 looks damned interesting. One thing though, it says it never stops eating rust. Does it eat metal as well? 8O

Now I'm no chemist, but ...... it reacts with oxides I guess, which is the corrosion bit. :?
