Pismo Beach salt water rust?

[ClimbAnyHill]

It seems the worst is at night when the mist settles on the bikes. Salt in the moisture states to work up some rust. What are you guys spraying on the metal? I've heard of some speacial marine spray to take care of this, haven't seen it though. Other's have the simple solution of WD40 and tarps.

 

What's your technique? What are you working with??

I heard of a guy sprayin' PAM on the bare metal parts and keepin' the rust off, but if thats not an option spray off the shee with fresh water after ridin' and then tarp it at night........... :beer:

i only ride at the beach/sanddunes and use silicon spray after every ride, my dad used to use fishoil on the old 4wd to keep the rust away and he still has the car and its 22 years old and has near to no rust.

There are some industrial rust preventatives out there that work great. On a smaller scale, many fishing shops have rust preventative oil for reels that also works well. I have never had a problem with rust as I don't camp directly on the beach. I try to stay back a ways from the water. There are less idiots back there and it is quieter. :baseball_mitt:

I works well for protectant and rust prevention, but like everything else, dirt sticks to it a little. I just wipe it down with a clean rag after it sits for a few. Its like putting a wax job on everything, and its safe on everything.

i been using acf-50. at 100bucks a gal its not cheap. i believe its best to wash it down then use wd40 using a paint spray gun to apply, buy it by the gal at costco or whatever.
