I presume you've read the Kawasaki service bulletin on paint care :shock: Holy shit batman, it's on the Ninja H2 forum. Sounds like you need to resign yourself to the fact that unless you stick this thing in a dust proof room and never take it out then it's going to scratch like buggery. Compressed air first to blow dust off, no pressure washers, two buckets with grit filters :shock:
Clear wrap sounds good.

That would be great if the dealers said anything or supplied anything,all I got was a micro fibre cloth,no mention of protectorent .I wouldn't have even minded paying for it but that's a bit hard if its not mentioned.

I have another option other than wrapping. Wrapping will also damage from stone chips etc.

I have personally used this gear on a couple car restorations and on a few bikes. (Been in the painting game for over 20 years.)

I also used to resell this stuff when I was a paint rep for a few companies.

I never sold stuff I didn't use myself or if they didn't do what they were suppose to.

This stuff is simply amazing. Hammer tough and chip proof.

With any paint though, preparation is they key and this is no exception. But when done properly it is brilliant.

I have an resto I done (Chrysler Royal) about 8 years ago and used a few of these products and namely the Glisten PC on the chrome work and paint.

(Btw I am no longer affiliated with this company or products anymore) I just like to pass on experiences and gear that actually works.

However, I havent looked and know what the actual topcoat of the H2R is, but the guys at PPC are VERY helpful.

Hope you find a solution soon as it would be a shame to be worried to ride that sweet bike, or have it damaged.

I will look into it, but would only get a professional to apply something like that and yep would have to check that it is compatable with this paint and clear coat used by Kawasaki as once used and if there was any problem kwaka would wipe any warranty.Apparently a tank for one of these things is over $3000.00

Yeah spot on.
There's so much talk about locals not being able to compete with the net but then this sort of thing happens.

There's still a lot of shops that will go out of their way though, thankfully.

Don't exactly know what the hell you would do with an extra 46hp other than show it to someone on a dyno chart. All seems a little unnecessary beyond the slip on.
