XCP Professional - Rust Blocker

Great stuff

The can is better as it mists the xcp more. The pump bottle just jets it out. I always xcp my bikes, great great stuff if you ride all year round!

Great but Messy

I bought XCP and ACF-50 at the same time to try them as they both had excellent reviews. For me the result is quite clear use ACF-50 on your bike and use XCP on your car. Nothing wrong with XCP but it's just like a soft wax, so it's a bit messy on your bike. If however you were storing your bike for a long time then this would be the product to use.

An Extra Layer

A heavy duty protective layer that should be applied sparingly as it is pretty gloopy. I found the surface attracted road dirt so suggest the bike is not used for 24 hrs. in order for the film to dry. Consider using XCP clear as an alternative. I think it's a worthwhile buy. Again, just don't be over exuberant when applying. Remove surplus from accessible surfaces.

Best of the bunch...

...according to that Bennets test. Much easier to apply well than ACF50, though it's more oily. Like someone who steals scooters, it arrived without a lid but the straw was there and I just put one of the many one acquires over the years on it.

Great product.

Great product for protecting underside of engine, swingarm, lower frame and places that are hard to clean or don't get cleaned that often. I have also used it on wheel rims and spokes before the onset of Winter, applying carefully with a small paint brush and allowing to dry before use. I found that the 'road crud' does tend to stick to it which doesn't look great but it is easily removed with WD40 leaving a totally protected surface underneath.

Seems good so far

Oh dear. Gagging to get out on the bike on a nice sunny day and ended up behind a gritting lorry. Bike immediately started to melt :-(. Spent the rest of the day in the shed cleaning, drying and applying the XCP which seems to have protected it - it's quite thick to apply and the 'spray' is really just gobbing blobs of it in a very inexact fashion but have a rag handy and you can get a good even layer over everything before it dries. It dries to a soft, waxy film which is fine for me. Now using it on all my gardening tools too!

Great

Have no complaints, seems to be working really well. Changed to this after watching the Bennets insurance test on Youtube. Would recommend

Good but greasy

I bought this instead of ACF50 having seen XCP outperform its competitors in the tests posted online. It is easy to apply and gives good coverage. It may be my technique but I found it left quite a thick greasy residue on the bike. It does say that you can buff it. I see that a clear coat version has been produced which I imagine solves this but will require more frequent application.

XCP Better coverage than ACF50

Purchased this in aerosol can as it was tested in RIDE magazine as being the best rust blocker out there. first impression was that it atomises better from the nozzle and gives a much more even coverage without spitting blobs like ACF50 does. Engine exterior didn't let off smoke on starting either.

Protecting the bike over winter

Looking for a good product to protect the bike over winter and this came up top in a number of tests, easy to apply thin coating so should last well into next season, great service and prompt delivery
