Hi has anyone used this product on there noble. Sounds like a good product but I think some people say it's very sticky and all the road dirt sticks to it rather than disperse it.

Never used it personally but my boss swears by it and uses it on his bike.

I use it John, but sparingly.
Over the last 3 months ive been cleaning up the Noble, ive used it on every electrical connection that I cleaned as it seals them with an oily coating.
Any metal pipe connections like the ones in and out of the fuel pump have been coated, keeps them sealed from rust.
Light plugs
Aircon comp in the front wheel well got a good spray

Ive done all that and probably only used 25% of a spray can.

I don't intend to use it on the floor section or as a rust preventative for the chassis

Hi Giles I was thinking more of a protection for the out riggers and the engine bay.Does this feel sticky when applied.

yes it is kind of oily, a bit like 3-in-1 oil. And dirt does stick to it. But it wouldn't matter on outriggers underneath, but you might not want it on visible parts in the engine bay.

Used it motorbikes the past 10 years or so, the idea is clean spotless then soak everything in AC50, then leave the whole winter and jet wash off around April. It does work on bikes that are fully exposed and used during winter but it looks ugly and is hard to ignore the cleaning for so long. I don't drive my Noble enough during winter to consider for car use..

Thanks guys I think I will use this on the electrical connections. My plan was to use this on the out riggers but that won't look good if all the dirt sticks to it.I might try some wheel wax and see how that goes.

I think that's a good call.

Once applied, its like a soft jelly coating. I wouldn't use it where its exposed to the elements as it will catch all the crud. A bit like a waxoyl consistency but doesn't dry hard.
