With summer coming to a close, autumn is just around the corner. Of course, once autumn is out of the way, we've got winter to look forward to, and we all know what the greatest danger to our vehicle over winter is...RUST!
Opie Oils can help you keep the rust and corrosion at bay, thanks to our new star product, ACF-50 Anti Corrosion Formula and Corrosion Block. If you've got a car, motorbike or boat that you want to keep in pristine condition, then you may want to have a look below... 
ACF-50 Anti-Corrosion Formula ACF-50, Anti-Corrosion Formula, is a state of the art, anti-corrosion/lubricant compound, that has been specifically designed for the Aero Space Industry. It can be described as an ultra thin fluid film compound which must be applied on an annual basis. ACF-50 actively penetrates through the corrosion deposits to the base of the cell where it emulsifies and encapsulates the electrolyte, lifting it away from the metal surface. ACF-50 then dispels this moisture and provides an atmospheric barrier which prevents any further moisture contact, thereby keeping the cell inactive. This compound continues to actively penetrate and "creep" into the tightest of seams, lap joints, micro cracks and around rivet heads, dissipating the moisture, even salt water, in these corrosion prone areas. These unique abilities of ACF-50 remain effective for 12 months, gradually disappearing as it is chemically consumed. - Approved for use on Electronics - Non-Flamable, non-toxic - Contains NO solids - Remains "ACTIVE" for up to 12 months - Film thickness is 0.00026 - A blend of ultra-pure base stocks and speciality corrosion inhibitors and surfactants You can find further information and pricing HERE. Don't forget to use your forum discount to get an additional 10% off your order! All in all, this is a fantastic product that we are proud to stock - designed as an "all round" corrosion inhibitor that adapts to whatever task you throw at it. Available in a 13oz aerosol, 1 quart bottle (with refillable pump spray), 4 litre container and even a 20 litre drum which is perfect for the workshop. After a slightly thicker "grease" for your electrical contacts or wheel bearings on your trailer? Have a look below for the next great product from the same guys. Corrosion Block Anti-Corrosion Formula Grease It's no secret that equipment downtime, repair and replacement are expensive. It is also no secret that regular scheduled preventive maintenance is cheaper than the repair or replacement of expensive equipment. Available in a 57g tube and a 454g tub, you can view it HERE. In these days of dwindling maintenance budgets and closer scrutiny of operating costs and procedures, you can show a real saving through preventive control of corrosion. Corrosion Block can be described as a clean, clear, ultra-thin fluid which leaves a non-greasy atmospheric barrier to protect the base metal on interior surfaces. Corrosion Block leaves no gummy residue because it contains no wax, resin, tar, asphalt, silicone or telfon. Corrosion Block anti-corrosion compound is a state-of-the-art material developed for the marine industry. Corrosion Block has three superior features: 1. Superior Anti-Corrosion compound - Kills corrosion in progress - Prevents new corrosion cells from forming for 12-18 months 2. Works as an excellent penetrant 3. Performs as a light lubricant very effectively You're probably thinking "that's great, but can it isolate the corrosion byproduct from my beloved electrical circuits?" Well, yes. yes it can. As well as offering the mentioned benefits, it also has many electrical uses. Corrosion Block has the ability to remove moisture, combined with its excellent penetrating and strong dielectric properties, have brought a number of electronics 'back from the dead' with just one application. The Corrosion Block removes the moisture from the corrosion byproduct, then isolates the corrosion byproduct from the electrical circuit. Corrosion Block can be used in many different electrical and electronic applications without fear of damage. Corrosion block will not harm paint or plastic surfaces. We're sure you'll find this new range of anti-corrosion products to your liking - at Opies, we don't stock a product unless we have complete confidence in it, so it's got our seal of approval.

I sprayed it along every seam and seal including hinges and brackets. Will be doing the same annually as a few mins work and minimal cost has to be worth it, IMHO.

Make sure it's wiped off of panels though as it goes a bit gluey and then can attract dust / dirt to stick.
Other than that it's great stuff. ⭐️⭐️God Bless the USA 🇬🇧🇺🇸 ⭐️⭐️ |

Depends if you spray or largely paint on with brush but one can should last at least a couple of years if you only do the main bits on the vehicle twice in a year. I used to use one aerosol per Defender for one treatment
 One can lasts me about two Defenders now being more precise and doing door hinges, all the engine brackets, interior bits, rear crossmember, rad surround, air intake screws and rusting spring clips, headlight rims, slam panel, bonnet catches, wiper swivels, etc etc as well as rear cappings, mirror arms, and the two rear window latches, rivets etc etc. anything that corrodes basically including the screws on headlight and front grill surrounds, rear step, tow bracket and electric socket, rear door handle and bit you push key into etc etc the list goes on, rear door inner grab handle screws and the two on door latch, seat frame bits, footwell fasteners, and other screws holding bits of metal trim on inner A post etc etc the list goes on...clutch cylinder and the vin plate mounting block behind it and other block further in next to it and the top bolts back top of wing.... Too many bits to describe easily but just spray and/or get a little brush on as many metal bits as you san cos it will all be corroding after only a few years otherwise... |

Zag, question. How do you get it to penetrate behind the body cappings? Especially the cappings on the back of the truck left and right of the safari door, and those on the rear sides of the truck?
I don't see much, if any, gaps there on mine. Eric You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation. http://youtu.be/yVRlSsJwD0o https://youtu.be/vmPr3oTHndg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GtzTT9Pdl0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABqKPz28e6A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLZ49Jce_n0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvAsz_ilQYU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8tMHiX9lSw https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dxwjPuHIV7I https://vimeo.com/201482507 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSixqL0iyHw |

Hi Eric You might be better off with Dynax S50 http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-73830-bilt-ham...n-wax.aspx The lance that comes with it is pretty slim so you can get it through small gaps and the head of the lance makes it spray in lots of directions.

Hi Tim,
How about using ACF-50 with a spray gun (with a compressor) with one of those flexible extension nozzle? Like they have in the Dinirtol kit. |
