Amazon.com: 3M Clear Bra Paint Protection Bulk Film Roll 6-by-48-inches: Automotive

I bought a roll from Colorado Cyclist some years back that was maybe 1" to 1.5" wide. I used it on the sides of the head tube as the Barrel Adjusters would drag a bit at about 3/4 lock and under the downtube where the cable couplers (I have a BreakAway) can rattle against the frame. After a few years the rubber O-rings on the couplers tend to break, leaving no protection between the coupler and the frame.
