Armour All in the pump spray bottles does look terrific but I don't like any aerosol droplets with silicone floating around my shop as is plays havoc with any finish work..fisheyes can be a nightmare.
I never spray it directly on the saddle but on a rag and then apply it to the saddle. Big avantage: easy to find, easy to buy, efficient and cheap. But I see you found another product which will make the job.
BTW, I have been using ACF50 for years and it is very efficient. Now, I use Rust Check. There are 2 products: the green and the red. The red is liquid and is almost identical to ACF50, and it gives me equal results. The green is more like a grease and will stay much longer on certain surface like the underneath of a sidecar, or the mudguards. Both can be purchased - again- at Canadian Tire which is easy for me.

Grant,
About ACF-50 will it harm paint? Is there any place you would avoid on your MC? This seems like a great product to winter-over.

You can spray ACF50 on everything. I would just avoir the saddle (you would have to clean it) and beware of the brakes: do not spray the discs of course, and do not spray too much the drums. The clutch disk is protected and should not be an issue. ACF is safe on electric connections, paint, rubber, plastics, all metal etc... Spray it and leave it on the bike.
