One point about ACF-50 - it might degrade over time in contact with water, but I can state from experience that a proper application to the metal parts of a bike in the autumn is still there in the spring. I took half a day to winterise a Suzuki Bandit (tank, wheels off, the lot) and apart from the parts that took some hammer from road spray, like the front of the engine, it was all still there when I removed it* five months later. It's excellent stuff - the Suzi was ridden daily and stood outside through a British winter and looked as good after as it did before, fasteners and everything - but it's nasty stuff to use. Sticky, slimy and smells 'orrible. I'd rather use WD-40 once a week than ACF once a year.
* ... with PARAFFIN. Doh!
Try paraffin?
