If you cherish the paint, that's not a bike you leave locked up.

I vote in favour of letting it get a rash/patina/usage marks.... but I have the tools to re-do it.
High end custom finishing isn't cheap so it's not ridiculous to want to protect it.
At our paint shop, we recommend Cycle Wrap UK. There's even a 10% discount if you invoke our name.
It's a super robust clear film wrap. Once it's on, you can't see it. It's used on F1 cars and spacecraft apparently.
Their site has all the info and Chris who runs it is a top guy.
They even have a non gloss version for psychopaths who choose to have a matte finish.

Question for those who have cherished paintjobs, how do you protect them?
Worried about lock rub and other bikes clattering them whilst stored in the same racks.
Not sure modern high end paint is tough wearing, people baby these or just choose to accept some wear.
