Winterising a scooter

[milly]

Today I managed with tootache and a fever to put my Michelin winter city grip tubeless wheels on my scooter and the side stand back on which was a right pain feeling rough. Wheels were easy enough, but all is done now.

Once I have washed it what is the best produuct that will stay on over winter and cope with the salt they throw on the roads over here at the slightest hint of a cold spell even if there is no frost.

I want to be able to give it a light wash now and again just to get rid of the mud and salt but not remove the product protecting it if that is possible. If not then no worries

I have heard of ACF 50 but have no experience with these products.

One scooter the LML is all metal the other is a Peugeot Django only 6 months old which is mostly plastic not worried if I need 2 different products but wondered if any of you had any experience

Thanks.

TYRES READY

WHEELS DONE EASY

READY TO DO THE STAND

WHAT A PAIN IN THE BUTT SHOULD HAVE WAITED TILL BETTER

ALL DONE HOME FOR PAIN KILLER AND BED

linseed oil, or some sort of new fangled ceramic coating maybe.

ACF50 is the best product out there. Give the scooter a good clean. Then apply by spraying onto a clean cloth. And rubbing over any metal surface. Not brakes, or exhaust.
If you try and spray it on from the can, it makes a right mess. Warming the can first helps.

Never heard of linseed oil before on scooters
