I have used CRC 808 for ages.

Before.






But in saying that you only get back what you put in and it won't come from a can.

I use Lanolin spray on things like the upper fork tubes on the DR since it tacks on better even if crap sticks to it.
The protection it gives is worth it,think of all those bikes that rusted the forks hidden behind headlight mounts.


Edit ... You beat me to it Mike,i went and got some pics.

808 silicone is the shizz. Makes plastic thingy's all shiny again.

I can live with it, like the fact that it's natural.

I use 808 silicon spray all over me bike, except discs and tyres. Makes it stay shiny for longer.

Might try lanocote,but the sheep smell may make me amorous.
