While we enjoy clear air & usually clear skies our sun is notoriously hard on paint. Combine that with Coastal salted air we have a real need to keep on top of our cleaning & polishing regime to maintain a showroom finish, to keep rust & oxidation at bay or to just stop our rides from looking tired. Ark Barrier eliminates the need to polish. The unique liquid glass coating backed by a three year warranty is one easy & simple way to keep your scooter (car, motorbike or bicycle) looking like it did the day it came out of the showroom. In fact just about anything can be treated including phones, Ipods or anything with a hard surface. While the warranty is three years typical lifespan of the product is often reported to be much longer.The finish can be reapplied, repaired or "topped up" at any stage.

The proof of the pudding is in the eating and I've put my money where my mouth is. My new PGO Xhot 150i has received the Ark Barrier treatment. Basically the whole scooter has been treated. Wheels, forks & brake calipers coated so brake dust will wash off easily protecting the paint. All unpainted plastics like floor boards & support panels have that dark "wet look" about them that won't wash off with water, they'll stay like that for years and are not slippery. Handle bars, Braided brake lines, forks, controls & all other metal surfaces treated to keep rust at bay. The paintwork looks like something from a showbike with a deep "wet" look finish, the Ark Barrier coating looks like another coat of clear has been applied. The Scooter looks absolutely stunning, come in & have a look.
I'd highly recommend this treatment for any scooter (or car/bike). It's maximum outcome for minimal effort, for $440 it's money well spent.
