Scottoiler FS 365 Protector Spray or ACF 50?

Who's tried both, and which would you recommend?

Never tried Scottoiler but everyone swears by ACF 50, I use my monnie everyday and I've covered the bike in the stuff. Apparently you're supposed to thoroughly clean the bike then cover it in ACF and then not clean it again for the winter. I have to admit its pretty sticky stuff so I guess others know what they're talking about!

I used FS365 last winter and it worked well.

I've used both products - ACF50 is more heavy duty and probably provides better protection. The problem is that the protective film it leaves on the bike attracts all sorts of road cr*p and your bike end up very very dirty. It is also a nightmare to clean off come summer time.

Now I prefer FS365 - it may not be as heavy duty as ACF50, but as long as you re-apply it regularly it seems to do the job. It also doesn't have the same tendancy to attract road grime.
