well i am on my second day with my2013 red PCX, i notice then when i get off st times i have a tendency that my shoe or boot scuffs the area by the gas filler, actually painted area, wonder if anyone added any stick on protection, i have a feeling i am going to scuff both sides of the area with my shoes.

Re: area near gas filler
This will work well, i have a 2 x 2" square under my keys so they dont scratch when swinging. Invisible....

Re: area near gas filler
I still have to get some of that ^^ so my side bags won't mar the bikes finish. Good idea for under the key area too!
It's been sitting in my Amazon bin waiting for the buy, and Dang! I just ordered a guardian bell! Next time, sigh.
What would we all do without Amazon and WallyWorld (Walmart)? Really!

Re: area near gas filler
I learned to lift my leg up higher during dismounts early on - those damn scuff marks will never fully go away

Leg over the rear seat works for me.
Four decades on two wheels has taught me nothing, all advice given is guaranteed to be wrong

that's my trick. My leg swings out like the karate kid to mount my scoot!gn2 wrote:Leg over the rear seat works for me.

It's called helicopter tape, and is available cheaply on eBay. I've got it all over the rub points of my bikes.

Re: area near gas filler
My wife and I have reached that point in our lives where we can no longer swing our legs over the seat to get on, so the scuff marks are normal for us. I use Novus #1 Plastic Clean and Shine to take the marks off. They come right off.

The difference in other tape and the stuff I recommended is the Xpel has a self healing feature, so if you nick it, a day or two later the nick is virtually gone…Mister Paul wrote:It's called helicopter tape, and is available cheaply on eBay. I've got it all over the rub points of my bikes.
Google Xpel......used on many high line cars as an invisible bra.
