A few weeks ago, I posted about
rust starting on my chrome headers and suggestions about how to have prevented rust from starting, etc. Anybody familiar with or has experience with
ACF-50 .... "A product that will stop existing corrosion as well as preventing it from starting" (photo and manufacturer's description, below). It even works on electrical terminals. Used on aviation and marine equipment. I'll be using it as a rust inhibitor, the rest I don't care. It's reminiscent of the Boeshield T-9 (Boeing Aircraft) product, although if memory serves, Boeshield wasn't applicable to electrical connections. There are other similar products out there, but I didn't write it down on a notepad.

Manufacturers descriptionImagine a world without corrosion! Just think, no rust, less maintenance, cleaner engines, greater reliability, higher residual machine value. How much easier things would be! Now imagine a highly sophisticated, non-toxic, active, thin film water-displacing compound.
A compound with salt blockers and corrosion inhibitors that stays active for up to 12 months. A lubricant so advanced that it is approved for electrical components, 40Kv
dielectric yet NO electrical contact resistance. A product that will stop existing corrosion as well as preventing it from starting. A product that was developed to help jet aircraft stay airborne. As close to ZERO CORROSION as nature will allow.
ACF-50 was developed 15 years ago and has amassed a record of performance unique in the aerospace industry. Here are some of its unique properties:
ACF-50 is an excellent penetrant. ACF-50 provides excellent low-shear
lubrication to moving parts and cables. ACF-50 kills any corrosion currently in progress with just one application. Removal of the corrosion by-product is not necessary.
ACF-50 is good for rubber, preventing it from cracking or drying out. In most applications, ACF-50's unique properties will last for 24 months before it is consumed and needs to be re-applied.
The ultra-thin-film does not attract and hold salt crystals and dirt particles. The ultra-thin film does not "dry". It stays a flexible liquid and therefore seals the surface better as the surface expands and contracts. ACF-50 will not displace or melt any grease which is already in place. It will mix with it and make it more efficient. ACF-50 will not support combustion. ACF-50 has a very low percentage of Volatile Organic Compounds (less than 17%). ACF-50 is non-carcinogenic and virtually non-toxic. Incidentally, full toxicality testing has been done to support this claim. ACF-50 can be easily removed with MEK or soap and water. ACF-50 will not harm any plastics or painted surfaces. ACF-50 can be safely applied to electronics such as radios, timers, test equipment, antenna connections, computers, etc.
However, we recommend you avoid using it on LED's, LCD's and soft membrane switches. ACF-50 can be safely applied to electrical components such as alternators, starters, magnetos, generators, distributors, carburators, rheostats, compressors,
wiring, switches, battery terminals, light bulb sockets, electrical connectors, circuit breakers, ignition systems, wire harnesses, etc
