Apply product neat to the surface that requires degreasing. The liquid can also be used as a degreasing soak (bath) for a few minutes, before cleaning off. XCP GREEN ONE does exactly the same thing as XCP ONE, but it is made from bio-based ingredients that are renewable, sustainable and bio-degradable.

The protectants were tested for material compatibility, to ensure they can’t harm any on your motorbike Hopefully it goes without saying that ALL of these products MUST be kept away from your brake calipers, pads, discs and tyres. Do not apply them to the brake disc carriers either as centripetal force will throw them out onto the disc surface. If you’re applying any of these products with a compressor, be sure to cover your entire wheels first. I drilled 2.5mm holes (with a pillar drill for consistency) in all the samples of the three different plastics, then carefully inserted stainless steel M3 self-tapping screws to create stress risers that highlight any incompatibilities between the material and the chemical. XCP Lubricate & Protect is a long lasting lubricant spray. It is built to withstand pressure, reduce friction and minimise wear.Thanks to trail and adventure parts manufacturer Rally Raid products for supplying the aerosol lids used as sample dishes from their sister company Masplas Mouldings.

Even if it’s wiped away, any product will be coating the insides of the bodywork and many other parts of the machine. Konkurenční výrobky jsou ještě dražší a s těmi levnějšími je spojuje to, že XCP v jeho vlastnostech a užitné hodnotě nepředčí.

Also, while many claim good water dispersing properties, you’ll get far better results if you dry the bike thoroughly. It can be buffed up, and as we’ve seen from the tests doing so still retains a high level of protection compared to other products. But doing that around engine fins, linkages and the numerous other nooks and crannies around a bike is going to be fairly impractical unless you want to devote some serious time and energy to it. XCP ONE is a multi-purpose maintenance spray, designed to loosen, lubricate, displace moisture, clean and protect.In the Best Motorcycle Cleaners test I used samples of painted steel, anodised aluminium, ABS plastic, polycarbonate, acrylic and chain O-rings to ensure material compatibility. It also doesn’t ‘soak’ into or enhance rubbers and plastics such as handlebar grips and switchgear so you’d probably want to avoid applying to those. Although it won’t hurt these surfaces in any way, getting it on your gloves then using them to wipe away rain or bugs. can leave smearing on the visor. On the plus side any dirt accumulation can be removed with a good wash down, again without seriously diminishing the coatings protection.

These products were all selected based on their claims, or after recommendation by the Bennetts Facebook community, but it’s obvious that those designed specifically as corrosion protectants tended to fare the best in this corrosion test; GT85, for instance, isn’t sold as a corrosion inhibitor but many people use it as such, assuming it’s superior to WD-40 (both products are from the same parent company). Ano, máme. Na Youtube a v různých zahraničních auto-moto časopisech najdete bezpočet testů a srovnání, z nichž XCP vždy vyjde jako vítěz v rámci dané kategorie výrobků.

There are plenty of corrosion inhibitors out there that promise months or even years of protection, but my testing indicates that – at least for a regular winter rider who keeps their bike clean – this is might not be the case. Tradiční antikorozní ochrana v automobilovém průmyslu má obvykle gumový, polyuretanový, voskový, parafínový nebo asfaltovýzáklad. Tato ochrana sice poskytuje silnou, ale těžko odstranitelnou a opravitelnou ochrannou vrstvu.

There is a marked difference in the way some of these products sit on the surfaces of your bike, which is worth noting when considering what makes for the best corrosion protectant.

Když zmenšíte jeho vrstvu na minimum, proud prochází a výborné kluzné vlastnosti zůstávají.

For effectiveness 3-4 months really isn’t long enough to establish that, and we weren’t going to coat a bike and ride it around for two or three years to see if it rusted over. Some fairly basic testing we carried out gave some positive results, but this is were lab testing comes into it’s own. If you watch the videos in this article you’ll see the timelapses I shot of the entire testing, which give you an even better idea of what protection is offered. Dilute 1 part XCP CLEANER & DEGREASER with up to 10 parts water (select according to strength of cleaning power).
