      Maybe the film is slightly porous which would allow air bubbles to escape over time. Personally I couldn't have put up with the bubbles, they would have had to come off if it were my bike.

    Hi Andy, the small air bubbles should dissipate naturally over a few days, happens quite a lot in the vinyl signage game.

  • @mickthemaverick5998
    @mickthemaverick5998 10 месяцев назад +17

    Sorry to say so Andy but the air bubbles are due to the application rather than the product. If you hold the protector in a dish shape and roll it on to the screen very slowly you should be able to avoid them in the first place. Just gently keep the pressure on with a roller of some suitable size and they go on well. I use the case of an old lipsyll tube!!

      A common fear of slow application is dust getting between the protector and surface. I've found if you can manage to get some sort of cross airflow, either via a breeze or a strategically-placed fan, that issue is resolved and you can go as carefully as you please.

      When I applied a screen protector from Speedo angels I used a spray bottle and plenty of water hence no bubbles, then leave it until all is dry

  • @raymondlyle663
    @raymondlyle663 10 месяцев назад +9

    Good morning. Fill a spray bottle with a mix of washing up liquid (just a small amount)and water. Spray the lens and the protector before applying it and then use the small plastic scraper tool to push the water solution out. It’s how paint protection film/frame saver is applied. Best wishes.

    I fitted Speedo Angels screen protectors to my RS. I used a small amount of soapy water as instructed and they went on without issue. Not sure if the protectors you bought required the same method of fitting however I suspect a TMF application faux pas occurred. Tiny bubbles (not the 1967 Don Ho version) are surely better than scratches. Hope the injury is mending well. Cheers.

    Hi Andy, and anyone else watching thinking about a fix for fine scratches on the speedo and tacho plastics. I spoke with the watchmaker I work with and he uses Autosol metal polish, and a soft cloth for plastic watch glasses, which is thicker and more cost effective. Being a clockmaker and not working on watches, I didn't know this but I will use it on my bikes instruments in future. Thanks for all your efforts Andy, in providing us with a great channel 👍

    I have used the Speedo Angels screen protectors several times but most of the time been thwarted by the dreaded air bubbles and took them off. The big success is the GS TFT as they do a Tempered glass protector that has no air bubble problem, more or less just lay it on and it sticks itself down with no bubbles.

    • @TheMissendenFlyer

Take it easy Andy, because when your warm you can forget the tyres and the road are still cold. Hate to see you slip off on wet dead leaves and thump that shoulder.

    I think we'll need an update on the air bubbles! A light mist of a water with a couple of drops of washing up liquid in on the TFT before application then work from the middle out with a credit card as a squeegee worked for me on the GS using one of the speed angles protectors. I have a keis heated vest and it is a game changer as no matter how many layers you put on the vest will keep you warmer over the course of your ride and of course the heat is adjustable

Noticed in a comment below that the air bubbles dissipated after a couple of days, so that looks like a win. Looking forward to Episode 2 of the Japan tour.

    Lots of fun as usual! I would also replace the cheap plastic brake reservoir with a nice black aluminum Rizoma tank for low cost as you look at it proudly displayed high-up on a Triumph. This would match your navigation device.
    Next, I would have tooted my horn for that stopped driver who seemed lost and confused at the intersection. Maybe he didn’t see you and would have suddenly darted-out in any direction without warning as they do here in Miami continually.
    Lastly, I also have a wind squeal in my Schuberth helmet. It’s something to do with the vents.

    When using film protectors or applying stickers use something like a screenwash solution from a spray bottle to allow the film to slide into place and allow air bubbles to squeeze out with a squeegy rubber blade.

    Hi Andy, I tried fitting the screen protectors to my SpeedTwin, what a nightmare, the glasses are slightly domed so no matter what I did they wouldn’t sit flat, and although Speed Angel said they could be fitted they were good enough to refund me.
    Maybe that could be a future episode, you might need you bleep machine on max though. 😜

    • @TheMissendenFlyer
      @TheMissendenFlyer  10 месяцев назад +1

    Thanks for the great informative video. Just ordered me-self some polywatch ;) I think I'll try to use it also on the other plastic parts of the bike, as well as mobile phone screens, tv screens, laptop screens and what not. About your screen, I'd rather have a scratchy screen, than a bubbly one. If you watch some vidoes about how to put that on, I have a feeling you will do a much better job 2nd or 3rd time round. There is a technique, which I couldnt quite see you implement. Good luck and Godspeed!

  • @ricatiman
    @ricatiman 10 месяцев назад +1

    After using the polishing compound, I suggest wiping the surface down with Isopropyl alcohol and water 1/2 and 1/2. With the fresh towel, that will remove the oils that are in the Polywatch. That is the final step detailers do before any PPF or wax or ceramic is applied. Great looking bike - Check out having a ceramic coating done on it. The newest ceramics have come a very long way in the past couple of years and now are almost magical in their protective qualities, and will last hundreds of washes, over many years.

    Hi Andy , the first time I use a new microfibre cloth I rip the label off as these can scratch the clear coat ( ask me how I know 😀), the labels are hideously prone to scratch, so good practice to remove them. All the best & stay safe 👍👍

    “Chuffed.” Had to look that one up. I subscribe to ‘Emma Cruises’ - a girl in England who reviews sea cruises, even though I’ve never been on one. Just find it interesting. Anyhow, she usually includes one ‘Britishism’ in each of her videos, to educate us non-Brits. Just mentioning it in case it strikes your fancy…….

    Spray water on the LCD screen before putting the screen protector on…the protector floats until the water evaporates. Autosol also make a good plastic polish…certainly a bigger tube!

    Always use Speedo Angels,ace product 👍 Bought the wiffy a beeline sometime ago after seeing your review on it,not impressed with it,not easy to read at a glance and quite slow,probably o.k if you ride a pushbike,have tried it several times in various positions but feel a good phone mount or a decent nav is far safer. O and the price of a beeline,bit much for what it is,only our opinion 👍Still liking the channel Mr Flyer, Happy Christmas and Happy New year to you and yours 🎄🎄🥂🥂

    Interesting review, got me thinking about a polycarbonate polish we used (in the mid noughties) to polish the canopies of Tornado & Eurofighter jets , I used it to polish out the scratches on the fairing screen and clock faces on my Ducati 998, it produced the most amazing results making the screen and clock faces look like new ( worked brilliantly on my helmet visor as well) maybe as a pilot you might have come across something similar ?

  • @TheMegashorts

    @starfighter2952 9 месяцев назад

    Meguiar's PlastX to clean and polish works great.
    Paint protection film would cover it up without polishing out scratches. And it can be changed. If you buy a big sheet of it you can cover high wear areas. Like top of rear fender or sides of t and where knees hit.

    Ok off subject, how many jackets and helmets have you got in that garage, I’ve got two helmets and 3 jackets and for me that’s too much choice 🤣 might sound like a dull video but I’d be interested if you went through all your gear and why and when, I dunno how you cope with all that stuff 🤣🤣

    • @TheMissendenFlyer
      @TheMissendenFlyer  10 месяцев назад

      Hehe, yes well as a RUclipsr you do get sent quite a bit of stuff - in reality it's quite a small subset that I use regularly - I had been thinking about makib=ng a video on selecting biking kit as I have experienced quite a lot of different types by now (and as I can't ride at the moment due an operation on my shoulder last week it would be one I can make in the garage).....

  • @stephenhendry447
    @stephenhendry447 9 месяцев назад

    For me this puts your integrity into question. When the screen protector company sponsored the channel they where the best and everyone should buy one.
    Now that they do not sponsor the channel, we see you fit one and you questioned the quality, application and finish of the product.
    You 100 percent were not sure with the product.
    Now the bubbles have gone you’ve chanced your mind again.
    Maybe I am over thinking it. However, just my opinion 😮

    • @TheMissendenFlyer
      @TheMissendenFlyer  9 месяцев назад +1

      I think you are overthinking it! The bubbles have since disappeared of their own volition and I’m very happy with it.

  • @darkiee69
    @darkiee69 10 месяцев назад

    You should've applied some soapy water with a spray bottle on the instruments before putting on the screen protectors, then you could've squeegeed out the air bubbles before they set.
