Detailed installation

If you follow these simple instructions closely and repeat them for the other areas you wish to protect, your bike will be well protected, look great, and you will be proud of the job you have done. We have listed many steps in order to be very clear but you will find that Bike Shield is very easy to apply.

Clean the parts you want to protect with the methylated spirits, or isopropanol alcohol, and the lint free cloth. Be careful not to rub too bard as the spirits could loosen the glue holding decals and darnage paint. Just wipe the area to get the dirt and grease off.
Take the Bike Shield pieces out of the package. There are five pieces.
Measure the length ofthe down tube.
Either wrap a piece of paper or the measuring tape around the down tube to determine the width.
Select the piece of Bike Shield that is closest in length and width.
Cut the Bike Shield piece to the exact length and width you need.
Fold back a piece of the backing paper (about 1 inch or 25 mm) at one end. (We recommend the end that will be applied to the top oft he down tube.)
Hold the piece up to the down tube lining it up in the position you want. We recommend the seam go on the bottom of the down tube for better appearance and protection. Attach the adhesive side of Bike Shield by pressing lightly, but firmly, with your thumb.
Remove the rest of the backing paper from Bike Shield, holding it up and away from the down tube.
Hold with one hand the end that has been already pressed on and lightly lay the length of Bike Shield along the top of the down tube.
Starting in approximately the center and on top ofthe down tube, press Bikeshield on firmly with your thumb in a horizontal line, slowly working your way out to the ends. (If you get a bubble or wrinkle, simply lift the end that you are working towards to remove the bubble or wrinkle, and then continue slowly working your way out.
When you get to the water bott1e eyelets, score Bike Shield around the eyelet. (Do not cut all the way through) Then, using the point of the blade, cut through a very little at one point along where you have scored Bike Shield for the eyelet. Then, simply grab Bike Shield where you cut through and pull. Bike Shield will tear very cleanly along the line you have scored. Now, press Bike Shield around the eyelet and continue slowly working your way out to the end. This procedure is also to be used when you need to cut non straight lines on such areas as the headset, derailluers, etc.
After you have pressed Bike Shield all along the top, start in the middle again, at the top that is already pressed on, and wrap Bikeshield lightly around the down tube.
Again, starting in the middle and slowly working your way to the outsides press Bikeshield firmly onto the down tube with your thumbs using a horizontal motion. Once again, if you get wrinkles, simply lift Bike Shield from the edge closest to the wrinkle, and then press again with an outward motion with your thumb.
After you have completely pressed Bike Shield into place, go back and very firmly press it again. If you like, and you have one, you can use a blow drier on low heat to remove any small wrinkles you may have. This is not necessary as any small bubbles or wrinkles will disappear in a few hours or days!

Maintenance of Bike shield

Bike Shield protects against scratches, stone chipping, and ordinary wear. Bike Shield does not protect against damage to itself or to the bicycle if Bike Shield is cut through, or otherwise not maintained properly. Be sure to clean Bike Shield immediately after every time you ride or transport your bicycle with non-alcohol based cleaners.

ATTENTION: All plastics are sensitive to degreasers so immediately wipe dry Bike Shield during cleaning. Bike Shield is “self-healing”. This means that scratches will disappear if the material is not cut or tom all the way through. Use a heat gun on the damaged area to speed up the process.

Removal instructions

Allow bicycle to reach 70 F/22-23°C or warmer. Peel Bike Shield slowly straight back along frame. If Bike Shield bad been applied over existing chipped paint, poor quality paint or poor quality decals use extra caution when removing Bike Shield as it may remove poor quality paint and decals.
