I bought my FLHR new in 2010. Rode 300 miles the first day came home took the 2-up seat off to mount a solo seat. The paint was already marked on the rear fender! Couldn't rub it out with compound. A fender bib is the only answer.

3M film is what I use in all those areas prone to paint damage.

3m tape was used on my bikes no scratches plus it just peels up no glue left behind
