Dynax S50 - again this looks good stuff. Just the kind of advice I was hoping for, thanks H. By the time I'm finished the new Roadster will be impregnable.
Today was meant to be collection day but dvla have dragged their heels and put a stop to it. Should be ok for one day next week. Metallic grey with burgundy roof, mulberry leather and SS wheels - they look like a challenge to clean....

JP....I use ACF50 on the beading and on the front under areas, cross head etc. you should have decent Dinotrol underseal applied by the factory. I also put some on the heads of the bolts holding down the front wings to the inner wings. ACF has great creep properties as you'll find out when you first use it.....a little goes a long way!
The leather upholstery is actually pretty good in light rain...unless you have the distressed option...and wipes over ok. I'd not risk a good soaking though! Although with your move from the ThreeWheeler you probably will be glad to get that hood up!

OK guys, so as a newbie, where do I stick the ACF50? Please!
Just keep yourselves "nice" as my mother in law would say.

Condor.....with something like an artist paintbrush, paint the ACF50 along either side of the beading that covers the join between the body and the wings and also the radiator cowl and wings. you could trying spraying with the extension nozzle but it needs a very gentle touch! Under the front end, there is the crossframe which supports the sliding pillars and to which if you have overriders, the support is clamped. This all catches a fair bit of muck and I think a spray of ACF50 keeps any corrosion at bay. Brian..........

ACF50 on order - just read up on it, sounds good stuff. I'm assuming you are recommending a good coating underneath the vehicle Jay? I'll make sure she has a good layer of polish - garage is up to the job.
Nice to know that the trad will deliver a similar effect to the M3W - a pound for every photo taken would have paid for her. Was hoping that the Roadster would have similar effect. Get a small syringe and run the ACF50 along the seams where the wings meet the body and then wipe any excess off. the idea is to let is seep inbetween the metal where it might rub and corrode, then you can get underneath and spray any obvious seams I would then ensure that the rest underneath is heavily waxoyled or use a similar product (unfortunately any work of it thereafter will result in getting black). WD40 is to be avoided I understand as whilst it initially gets rid of water it then absorbs it.

JP - where are you in Nottinghamshire?
There are a lot of Morgans round about - if you are an MSCC member, it would pay to get along to your local centre and chat to others / be nosy as to what others have added to their cars. And you can find out what the car is capable of in a Car Trial if you wish.
Whatever decision you make on all-weather or fair weather use, just get out there and enjoy it.
