959 Panigale Total Protection Kit

Highly recommended

I got the extended coverage, which you need to buy if you want everything in the diagram. You also have to buy the baby shampoo and squeegee separately.

I chose the 3M Scotchguard, which was very easy to work with and is almost completely invisible once applied (seams can be seen if you look closely). It's not difficult to apply, but fairly time consuming and requires some patience if you want it perfect (be mentally prepared to undo a difficult section to get a piece of dirt/bubble out). My paint already had some swirling, and the film masks those so you don't need to polish beforehand. The paint actually looks slightly better with film on it. I haven't tested scratch resistance yet (will update or post new review if any issues).

There are some small issues, for example the tank is not 100% covered and, at least for the 959 kit, the front fender portion is not as described in the diagram (comes in three pieces that only cover the vertical sides and a small part of the tip). It would also be nice to have film for the tail light in the extended coverage kit.

However, overall the film is great and the pieces well cut. I would definitely buy this again.
