Excellant idea Gannon! How would it work for a headlight lens protector?This is probably too late for this solution but maybe not! For all of you that use tank bags or perhaps have the chance of scratching the tank, or even abrasion marks from you pant legs over time. Go find an installer who puts on 3m Scotchgard paint protection. It is like a "clear bra" material that they use on the front of cars. Only settle for 3M otherwise you will be pissed off later. What it is , is a clear plastic that is kinda like contact paper per say. They put it on the front of cars to protect them from rock chips. I have it on my old 58 VW pick-up I restored yrs ago. I use it on my cell phone to protect the screen and my Ipod touch. When I first used it on my cell phone it was very hard to see through. We put that stuff on there and it cleared the screen right back up. If it starts getting those small scratches in it , like the black cars get that swirl mark from just cleaning them. You just take straight rubbing alchol and give it a little spray , let it set for 10 - 15 seconds then wipe it clean. The alchol kinda melts it smooth again. It is some wicked stuff. We just put it on the bottom side of a kayak. Just to give an idea how awesome it is! There was a customers of my wife that had a BMW Z3 or 4. It was on the hood about 18" strip across the front . The customer had came out from shopping and noticed that someone with a hitch on their truck had backed right over the hood with the hitch. It just wadded that paint proection up and followed the hitch up the hood. lucky for them there was no dent and when the paint protection was removed there was not even a scratch! Replaced the paint protection and off they went. We have been told that originally 3M made this stuff for the leading edge of the rotor blades on the helecopters for the military. I swear by this stuff it is awesome! In my work truck I was starting to wear the paint off of the door sill from all the mud and dirt on my boots, dragging in and out. It has been over that area for almost 6 yrs and is still holding up from my dragging of mud and dirt over the door sill. You should try and locate it in your area. I am guessing to do a tank where your legs would rub or as much of the tank as they could ( due to the fact of the tight curves). I am guessing $15 - $45 depending on how much you wanted them to do. This stuff
