just be careful with whatever you use, don't get it on the brakes
some people spray it into the lid and then use a brush to apply it for more control over where it goes. _________________

I was advised to use ACF 50 when I got my GTS new {March 07} and have done ever since its great stuff! bit exspensive but well worth it, Ebay price is as cheap as anywhere, remember to keep the can at room temp, it works better. and keep well away from the brakes! _________________ GTS250 its the future!!!

I use the aerosol spray £13ish, no probs getting it where its needed, I tip the scoot over on some underlay and everywhere is get at able! also sprayed from the top of the engine bay wires and all,after removing the deep fat fryer of course, just used the first can up, so 4 applications for £13, the alloy bits tend to look dirty but clean up like new before the next application, also spray some on a clean cloth and wipe the chrome bits for rust prevention, ie back carrier etc. _________________ GTS250 its the future!!!
