Interesting product to prevent road salt corrosion

I was looking into ways I could prevent or minimize road salt corrosion and came across this product called Fluid Film:

http://www.canadiantire.ca/browse/product_detail.jsp;jsessionid=S7lhX2wQht7d4vbbmFjr8X1gFsChfKhySzkZq88sSPdLysQPcyrB!953473642?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524443306667&bmUID=1379607994664


Does anyone have any experience with it? The reviews make it sound fairly effective. Our winters can be pretty bad - but there's always a few days on the plus side of zero - and I'll be taking my bike out then - just looking for a solution that doesn't have me washing my bike every single time.

What do you guys think?

Canadian tire links generally don't work well. Copy and paste the link into http://bit.ly and paste the generated link here.
 
Search ACF50. I used it last winter. Used on air planes. No damage to plastic either. Has a creeping / capilary action that penetrates into areas you can't spray.

Down side: makes the bike look like filth by the spring as dirt sticks to the thin film of oil coating on the bike.
 
Fuild film cautions against applications to rubber as it may cause swelling.

ACF50 safe on "most rubbers".

Looks like virtually the same product. However Fluid Film appears to be based on "woolwax" whereas ACF50 is specifically designed for the aviation industry, contains no wax, etc., serves to even reverse or "lift" existing rust. It seems like a product a step up from Fluid Film.
