I have read though that chrome is porous and needs to be sealed with regular polishing.

considering ACF50s claims i find this very hard to believe

Look on Zolti's link - its the last recomendation at the bottom.
Triumph dealer is taking the piss blaming this stuff - if its good enough for aircraft its good enough for the Bird.

| | Posted : 03 Apr 2011 - 08:49 Post title : Re: 'kin rust (Re: paulc) | | | I used GT85 on my America, sprayed everything, it dried to a slightly greasy film, it seemed to work as the bike was an 2003 model, and when I traded it for the Thunderbird it cleaned up like new after wiping all the GT85 off and giving it a quick polish.
Might be worth contacting makers of ACF50 and asking their opinion.
See if they have a public relations department, it might be in their interest to back up your claim that ACF50 does not cause corrosion.
Good Luck.
