See, thats what I thought but, after a string of posts a few weeks back I was convinced I needed to. A couple people questioned the integrity of Bianchi's chrome job on this bike and I guess they put the scare on me cause I went out and got a clear coat.

I guess it gives me some sort of peace of mind, but it did look much better before I put the clear on, now it has a slight texture in some spots. As for the jasco stuff, I could not find it around me but found an equivilant at the home depot that worked great also.
do what ya like. if you ride in salted streets in the winter, and summer in florida, then i can see clear coating. if not, why bother, then you have a chrome bike that scratches like paint. I also covered a pista with industrial reflective sticker. looked like a white frame in the day, and looked like gods bike to car headlights! Get your own @ http://www.reflectivelyyours.com/
