Like many off-road and motocross riders, my weekends consist of getting the motorcycles dirty, pressure washing, and a WD-40 soaking to help prevent rusty looking fasteners, foot pegs, spokes and unfinished two stroke expansion chambers. The problem with that solution is as soon as the bike is ridden in mud or water, the protection is removed.

I decided to try Star brite Ultimate Corrosion Blocker with PTEF on my son's new KTM 85sx from day one. Corrosion Blocker is applied with a spray bottle and quickly dries to form a protective invisible barrier. The PTEF polymers bond to the metal and help to repel dirt and moisture. Once dry, the protective layer remains unless you scrub it off.

Star brite Ultimate Corrosion Blocker

Every KTM motocross bike I have owned looks great when new, but eventually the foot pegs and fasteners’ original silver color starts to turn a rust color. On the KTM 85sx, the pegs and fasteners are still a nice silver color after a season of racing. The bike did not need to be re-treated after every power wash. Since the protective film is so durable, the coating needs to be scrubbed off. I now treat all of my off-road motorcycles with excellent results. The spray has not stained or damaged any of the surfaces I have sprayed it on.

Ultimate Corrosion Blocker works so well I decided to treat the Method race wheels, Fox aluminum bodied shocks and other suspension components on my truck before Winter. Throughout the cold months, road salt and grime was easily hosed off of the wheels and suspension components. There was no corrosion anywhere the spray was applied. One thing to note is when I decided to remove the coating from the wheels, it took quite a bit of scrubbing to remove. There may be an easier method of removal that I am not aware of, but the protection during the Winter was worth the labor required to remove coating. MSRP: $19.99 Starbrite.com
