Went all in on the Seasucker Talon. Really dig it. Asked another user about any clear coat marring and said it hasnt messed his up. And after a 15+ usages on my SS. Still no marring. I keep the suction cups clean and always in their covers. I always clean the surface of the car I will be attaching it too with some waterless carwash or detail spray too keep both things clean. I just tape up the pedals so they don't spin and hit my car. I've driven with the bike on the car on the freeway at 80 mph and my bike is still safe =).
