Scottoiler FS 365 Corrosion Protector

[tricky]

I ordered a few bottles last month, and just applied it to the bike after a good cleaning today. I guess it's pretty hard to review an anti-corrosive spray, but I wanted to see if any of you used it, and what your experiences were.

If you haven't heard of it, here's the description from Scottoiler,

What is Scottoiler FS 365?

FS 365 is a water based corrosion inhibitor, the idea is that you spray it on and the water content carries it into all the hard to reach places of the bike, we're talking every tiny little gap. The water content then evaporates leaving a film of protection on all surfaces.
The Science bit – how it works:

Scottoiler FS 365 works in a number of ways to reduce corrosion.
Pure water on it’s own will not cause corrosion, however as soon as it comes into contact with the atmosphere it absorbs acidic gases such as carbon dioxide that do. This is where FS 365 comes in. FS 365 is formulated using mild alkalis and chemical compounds known as pH buffers that work to balance out the acidic elements..
The process of rusting and oxidising requires water vapour, air and time (salt and heat speed up this process as catalysts to the reaction). FS 365 acts as a corrosion inhibitor in two further ways:

1. In general by supplying a lubricant to all metal surfaces which builds up as you re-apply, protecting them from the air.
2. When it comes into contact with salt it reduces its catalytic effect on the corrosion process.

FS 365 is a blend of mineral oil, surfactant, anti – corrosion additives and water, which forms a stable micro solution. This forms an effective protective layer against corrosion, clinging to all surfaces and building up over time with each re-application. FS 365 is also environmentally friendly as it is water soluble and inherently biodegradable, which further helps when it comes to cleaning as any dirt which sticks to the FS 365 layer is easily washed away.
So, in essence, FS 365 works as a barrier protector as well as disrupting the chemical processes involved in corrosion. With continued re-application it makes cleaning the bike easier and builds up layers of protection.
What can I spray it on?

It is safe to use on all materials. Simply spray it on to plastic, metal, engine components, hoses, carbon fibre, anodised surfaces it won't affect them, only leaving a thin layer of protection which can be buffed up to a nice shine.

DO NOT spray FS 365 on the brake discs, callipers or tyres, although if you do, don’t panic, it will hose off with water without damage.

We recommend regular re-application of FS 365 for best results, even if your bike is in storage as temperature changes can cause condensation to occur.

If you can hose it off your calipers how does it protect anything ?

I think you can only hose it off if you just sprayed it on; if you let it dry like that, then I'm sure you'd have to scrub at it
