Default corrosion

Hi
On motor bikes and cars the exposed parts tend to corrode. Bikes are
particularly bad as they are more exposed. What is the best way to
prevent this being a problem.

Is spreading a film of LM grease a good idea or is that the stuff that
goes solid and Makes it harder to take apart later. regular oiling or
wd40. What works?

Cheers

Gary

ACF50 has many good reports. Spray it on at the start of the claggy
season, wipe it off at the end; shiny stuff underneath still shiny.

LM grease will emulsify (absorb water) and while it may contain
corrosion inhibitors these will eventually be consumed. It won't go
solid (but nuts underneath it may rust). In my experience vaseline is
likely to be better.

There's no simple single solution because there are different sorts of
"exposure". Waxoyl or regular spraying with oil or WD40 may help.
