Default Glass clear coat

Anyone put this on their Harley as a paint protection system. If so just wondering how it performs over the longer term and whether you can see it in different light or situations. It seems polishing is a thing of the past once its done and its said to last around 5 years whereapon another coat is needed.

Here is a link to one particular supplier that does it :

I don't trust any website with that many typos and grammatical errors. The quality of a website should reflect the quality of the product.

Could be a good product,why not give it a try if it doesn't cost an arm and a leg?

Read about it also, but don't know anyone who's really tried it.

I don't know if it works. If they really put it on those cars on their website, a Harley is chump change in comparison.

On that website, did you happen to look at the contacts? Looks like they are out of Bangkok Thailand. Also I didn't see anything on there showing how it is better than using clearcoat

Thanks for the responses guys. I am in Bangkok and so is this business. The Dealer offered me this as part of a package on a new bike so while it wasnt free it sort of was. A few of the guys in the HOG group here have this on their bikes and yes it has gone on some expensive cars as well. To be honest I am not sure how good it is but decided to give it a go. It sprays on as a cover over the clear coat and supposedly hardens. Havent been able to notice it in daylight but its obviously to early to comment on results. There is no special care required with at and its suppose to last about 5 years. I figered anything that helps protect the paint work is worth a go. Will post up again in a few months and give an opinion on it. Thanks again for the comments

I love Bangkok. Used to go there quite a bit. I still wish that guy would have let me ride that elephant. Forget softtails, where else can you walk out of a bar at 2 AM and find a cat with an elephant? Good luck with the clear coat. You are a brave dude, I would never ride a scooter in that place.
