Tank protectors - all the same?
 

Are they, or are some recommended above others?

Bought one off eBay 3 weeks ago and it failed to materialize, so I'm shopping again.....

All the same other than surface area, and material.

I hate the look of them myself, i know they serve a purpose though. I use a protective wax coating and consider the issue when buying gear to avoid having to put one on.

Thanks - I've not got one at the moment but I almost always have a tank bag on with me, and I've noticed the little scratches getting bigger and bigger.

If I go for a black one it won't stand out too much I think, the need for one is functional, rather than aesthetic ya see.


Cheers

Coats of hard wax a couple of times a year do the job for me. Once it looks tatty, then you can cover it up with a tank protector. ;)

What clever thinking. I'll hang onto my pennies for the moment.

What be this hard wax product? Melted candles!?

Hard wax is just normal car wax, but slightly, well, 'harder'. Takes a bit more elbow grease to apply (but still easy), lasts a fair bit longer than normal wax. Your local max power reader's emporium of car tat should sell it (it's a type of wax, not a brand). I bought a tin for £1 a few years back and I've still got half left.
