Paint protection - What do you use?

Other than a million coats of wax, I'm looking for paint protection on the Chicken to protect her new skin. In the past and present (RC51 and 1000RR) I've used Tankslapper 3M film but they do not offer a full kit for our bike. Anyone know of another supplier? I don't want to do a custom or DIY kit that requires me to cut anything. I just want to peel and stick.

I've used Liquid Glass on vehicles with pretty good results.
It won't stop large flying objects but with proper applications
it builds a layer af hardness that deflects things that would normally leave small chips.
I've been happy with it so far.

Flat finish. Seriously. Flat black. The new VFR800 tank is still red, mostly because I've been too busy riding to pull it back off and paint the darn thing. Any scuffs or chips are met with a bit of rattle-can magic!

Not an option when you just had the bike painted.
