Reviews over the

Bikeshield Clearshield Roll

The transparent film (PPF) comes on a roll, so you can cut it exactly to size for the areas you want to protect. I used a 1-metre roll on my XL Procaliber MTB and was able to completely cover the top tube, downtube and chainstay with it. There is even enough left for the crank arms and front fork. The film is a bit thicker than ordinary wrap film, which makes application a bit trickier. My tip: use pH-neutral soap (like Zwitsal), mix it with water and spray it on both the surface and the foil. This will allow you to position the foil properly. Then rub out the moisture and let it dry. Possibly with a hair dryer or hot air gun to speed up the process. After a hefty fall, I could immediately test whether it worked - the foil caught the scratches perfectly!

Pros & Cons

The material feels strong and robust. This product is easy to customise. Sharp corners come off easier. Rounded corners stick very well. Curves in the frame are difficult to stick. Once applied, the stickers can only be seen up close.

Pros & Cons

It wasn't too bad for me for the first time. Take your time. Do not touch the sticky part with your fingers because it no longer sticks well. Most air bubbles disappear on their own after a few days. I really did the whole of my frame and have absolutely no fear of paint damage anymore. Next time, I will take more time and do it perfectly.

Pros & Cons

Easy to use

Pros & Cons

September applied which was not at all easy. Corners started to come off pretty quickly, some parts removed but huge amount of glue residue which is difficult to remove. Last part I pulled the paint off the bike with it!!!

Pros & Cons

Good bike protection in the places where you find it necessary. Easy to customise, and more than enough to protect several bikes in various places.

Pros & Cons

I opted for the Bikeshield with an eye on quality - after all, cheap is often expensive... Unfortunately, this does not apply to this film. I have experience in applying it and was very thorough (cleaning, degreasing, applying piece by piece with a lot of patience, smoothing etc.), yet it was impossible to apply the film without (small) bubbles or deformations. I have not experienced anything like this even with cheap Chinese foils. Very disappointing for this hefty price.

Pros & Cons

I wanted to protect my carbon frame from the abrasion of a couple of small panniers on the handlebars and so far it has done that. Material is of good thickness, sticks well and it's been on for a month now with the requisite rain and everything still sticks perfectly. I unfortunately haven't had much patience to apply it nicely but if you do, it just looks relatively fine on a black carbon frame.

Pros & Cons

Impeccable mantel service

The product meets my expectations, easy to cut and apply.

Pros & Cons

Adheres well. Air bubbles disappeared after a few days. Hasn't been on it that long, so can't say if transparent/colorfast stays.

Pros & Cons

Not what I expected, not a nice finish on a black bike, remains a very visible film in contrast to other brands (Ridewrap e.g.) Removing it was not easy either, a lot of glue remains. Foil is nice and thick and firm though, so I'm sure it will protect well.

Pros & Cons

Nice sturdy film that protects well
