Second purchase of it
1st on gs 2013 wc lasted the 3 years i had the bike.

Not as impressed with the gsa kit , there was a lot more coverage on the gs covering the front bodywork
but good stuff.

I have had it fitted to my GSA LC and I am very impressed. The guy that fitted it customised fitment to other areas that I asked for such as the swing arm, main stand and other bodywork. I would recommend that you get it fitted by a professional if you want good results.
My mate has an RT and badly scuffed his pannier yet when he had the 3m replaced the paint was untouched.

I'm using the new 3m scotchguard pro now and use distilled water solution, ill have to get a sheet of xpel and see the difference.
I can only see that available from the US. Have you got a link to a UK seller? I need a small roll to do smaller areas of the bike (centre stand etc).
Xpel is much flater and has more gloss than 3m..just Google Chipguard and give him a bell..Paint protection has moved on a bit, he was raving about another manufacurer, i cant recall the name

I could cut what I need out of a sheet if needs be, but finding it in a good size is difficult.
Can you get small rolls of it, non bike specific?

I see you are based in Surrey. I'm in North Hampshire and have used Paintguard from the waterloovile area on my last three bikes and current car.
They don't use 3m film now but a better product. Steve can do part kits or full kits for most makes and models of bikes and cars. They do too end vehicles too. My Gs was done at Bahnstormer the dealers at Farringdon before I collected it. Personally I cannot recommend the protection film enough.
Hope that helps

Do you know if they offer a mobile service, as although I've fitted some film to my bike, I'd prefer a more professional job?
Or can anyone recommend a company in, or near Surrey that can come to me?
Rubbish if you buy the 3m ventureshield it can be removed and reused if you know what your doing.
I have used it on many sports bikes and it has always worked well, its not difficult to fit as you do it wet but I haven't bothered putting any on the GS
Got a contact for the people in Waterlooville ? I live there so would be nice and local.
All I can say is when I tried to remove it from one bike I had it came off the painted areas no problem. but one area had a transfer under the lacquer and it pulled the lacquer off. Perhaps it was a issue with that particular area of lacquer not keying onto the transfer correctly I don't know but it happened.
I have used and removed it in the past but I'd now think twice about placing it over transferred areas.
I have never had this problem, like you say its possible the lacquer hadn't keyed in with the transfer so was a one off but always best to er on the side of caution!
