Their speil:
ACF50 - compound for controlling corrosion on aircraft electrical and avionics systems and air-frames.
ACF-50 kills the corrosion process with just one application and will last for 24 months. Micro switches, cannon plugs, and relays will remain corrosion free. Plus, ACF-50 will easily free seized nuts, screws and bolts.
My experience:
1. My 20+ year old garage door remote stopped working and a new battery didn't help. I liberally doused it in ACF50 - it wouldn't work the next day but it did a week later.
2. I bought a vintage non-working jigsaw - I doused the trigger switch in ACF50 - I tested it daily and about 3 days later it sprung to life and is still fine over a year later.
3. I left batteries in a PC mouse for about 18 months and when I went to use it the batteries had leaked all through. I cleaned it up as best I could but it didn't work with fresh batteries so I used a syringe to squirt ACF50 all through it and let it soak for a week. New batteries in and it works like new again.
4. The tail light on my car would blow every few months. I sprayed ACF50 on all the wiring connections and where the bulb plugged in - it has been over 15 months since I had to replace it.
And no I do not sell the stuff.
I just did a youtube search to see if there was a video on how ACF50 works and this is what I found : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6DnrZ7tqAE
I think there are better rust inhibitors for nuts bolts and frame that is exposed to the weather but I don't think anything comes close to it for electrical components.
Well if you want to contact the company have them send me a case and I'll try this stuff out I can only talk about stuff I actually use
You're an ideas man man, that's why you're on the big bucks eh? 🙂
I will see if I can find who distributes in the US and get in touch with them.
Hey Scotty,
It seems as though Lear Chemical Research are behind this based in Canada.
On this site you can request samples which would probably be just as fast for you to do otherwise you'd have to give me your address/phone etc,. for me to request on your behalf.

How much does it cost?
I'm in the UK and it is around £12:00 per spray can but I bought a 4 liter bottle for £74:00.
not cheap. I feel like contact cleaner would accomplish the same thing for a fraction of the cost. And quicker.
You could be right but ACF50 also provides a protective barrier. A lot of UK motorcyclists also use it for winterizing their bikes. There are plenty of youtube videos about that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjx5gqBZLfk for example.
I need to see ProjectFarm test this
