Begging your audience, Lord Popgun. I am a shiner and a rider, and do what I can to keep my paint perfect. I had always used Snider's Paint Guard film on my tanks. That's a non-adhesive clear film that sticks by static cling. I love it because you can remove it and replace it as you like.
Since Snider's has gone out of business, the only similar product I can find is Tankslapper. They offer several film types, but one is static cling. I haven't tried it, but by any chance are you using their cling film, or one of the adhesive films?
I usually take paper, tape it to the tank where I want protection, draw out a template, and transfer it to the film. Then, cut out the film and apply it. I like to apply to the front side of the tank for rock chip protection, and the area just near the tank to protect from scratches from jacket buttons and zippers. I ran out of my last sheet of Snider's doing this on my CB, and didn't have enough left over for knee protectors on the sides of the tank.
I remove scratches on my tanks with a variety of products. My favorites are Meguires 105 to compound the scratch out, then 205 to bring the shine back to perfect. I fell like Lady Macbeth every time I see any kind of imperfection on my tanks..."Out Damned Spot!"
