$700 for some paint protection seems outrageous to me. My advise would be to skip any of these products and just keep it washed and waxed on your own.

I would push it pretty hard to. That is some great stuff. I am talking about the money your fixing to line that turds pocket with. Don't buy that crap.

Sounds like the stuff car dealers use to try and sell "polyglycoat" It was a one time wax that was around the same $700 price. Save your money and buy good wax.

I don't think that stuff is designed to prevent rock chips and damage from dragging boots across saddle bags. Its more for damage for the elements and the stuff that birds leave.

I used the 3M product on saddle bag lids and it does prevent boot damage. They make precut kits for various areas. I think the saddle bag kit was $50.00. You could do the whole bike for half of what they want for it. It does show a little though.

Waste of money. Spend it on performance upgrades instead.
