I'll show you 4 small ones here Wire brushes from LESSMANN (Made in Germany) for special areas of application that make it easier for you to work on your scooter for repairs and maintenance!

1. The file cleaning brush

Steel brush for cleaning files. You don't need to buy a new file right away if it no longer has the expected effect; cleaning the file is often enough!
This special brush from Lessmann is suitable for cleaning the cuts of metal files so that the cutting effect is fully available again.
The file cleaning brush is particularly suitable for removing chips and strongly adhering metals such as: copper, brass, bronze and aluminum.

2. The rust eraser brush

High quality rust eraser with steel bristles.
The brush is ideal for a careful repair of your vehicle with original paint on which sheet metal is partially rusted. which should not be ground flat. Keyword: O-paint rescue.
With the rust eraser, oxide particles can be removed effortlessly, even on surfaces that have already been scarred. The bristles on both sides have different thicknesses for precise work. Then the area can be passivated with a suitable agent (e.g. multifilm).

CONCLUSION: Great little tool with a big impact and fun factor

3. The steel brush for the rough

This quality steel brush is particularly suitable for removing coarse dirt such as rust.
It is not suitable for use on surfaces made of plastic, aluminum, copper, etc.

4. The brass brush for cleaning spark plugs

Brass brush for cleaning the ground and center electrodes of spark plugs.
Since brushes made of steel roughen the surface unnecessarily and new dirt adheres even better than before,
A brush made from a softer material than steel should always be used to clean spark plugs.

Vespa anti-rust agent ACF 50

Do you already have rust / corrosion on your Vespa? If not, it is unfortunately only a matter of time and a matter of fact. Protect your Vespa from rust now! We recommend ACF50 and also use the product on our own scooters. We also treat new Vespas such as Vespa GTS, Sprint, Primavera with the anti-corrosion agent. ACF 50 is simply sprayed onto the roller and penetrates even the smallest openings.

How does ACF 50 work?

ACF 50 crawls, for example

between metal connections
between rivets and frame, e.g. Vespa treadboard
in hairline cracks in the frame, leg shield, running board, side hoods etc.

This super anti-rust agent forms an emulsion with the moisture and the corroded material on the Vespa. This emulsion is carried to the outside and evaporates. The area freed from corrosion = rust is protected from renewed corrosion by a protective layer. You can now effectively prevent expensive repairs to your scooter:

ACF-50 - rust protection for your Vespa

ACF50

The fluid developed for aviation penetrates through the grate to the core, lifts it off the metal surface and encloses it. This takes the food from the grate and stops the ongoing process.

By his creeping function it settles in gaps and gaps and prevents the Corrosion. This of course makes it ideal for protecting the center tunnel of the Vespa from internal rust, especially on the overlapping metal sheets.

The magazine scootering in England has a vivid one field test made, and one with ACF-50treated and an untreated metal sponge nailed to a board in the garden, and exposed to the tides. The untreated sponge rusted away and disappeared after a while, while the treated one after three years no traces of rust showed. An impressive demonstration of performance.

The ideal product for protecting against rust and corrosion in old-timers and new vehicles.

The simple processing is particularly impressive no special tool and heat or the like is required.

Of course, the anti-rust film can also be used anywhere else, from lawn mowers to mountain bikes or motorcycles to beloved vintage cars.

Everywhere that rust is a problem ACF-50 the solution !
