That'd last forever! I've had two years out of a spray can so far & it's still half full.

Guy I rode with last year ( once was enough !! ) paid £80 for a guy to come to his home and spray his new BMW - I did point out how much the product cost and it would last years and so simple but .... twat  :bugga:

Is this suitable for use when hibernating the bike for the winter? Do you simply wash it off come spring?

Washes off with hot water I think. No need to wash it off from what I understand though.

ACF50 is perfect for hibernating a bike. Keep it away from brake calipers and discs. I just apply it sparingly with a cloth to frame, swing arm, wheels and engine. Just wash it off when your bike needs  a wash because it's dirty. I used to ride all winter and wash and reapply it nearly every week due to winter salt and the fact I hate a dirty bike.
