Frame Protection Kits

Can anyone recommend a good kit that has pre-cut film?
I remember buying a kit maybe 10 years ago where Scotchguard was the film and the seller included the wipes, the squeegee, small water sprayer as well as the pre-cut film (downtube, top tube, fork, chain stays, head tube, etc.).

I have been experimenting with double-thick, 16mil plastic.
Shimano chain still goes thru it like a hot knife thru buttah DOOH! :mad:

I recently bought a roll Lamin-X to apply to my new Ripmo. $20 for a 4x60" roll and I was able to cover the major areas. They include a razor blade and it was easy enough to cut. It was my first time installing. It was definitely more involved than Racer's Tape, but it looks like you've got some experience.
