Heli-tape .. Who doesn't ??

I put some kind of protection on the frame if the cable outers are against the head tube.

And I tend to put something on the drive-side chainstay.

Beyond that, and I really don't need anything adding to my OCD - so thanks for that...

To whoever up there.
Helitape (Helicopter Tape) is a thick plastic sellotape. In fact looks very much like the book spine reinforcing tape I use at work.

or a Polyurethane Protective tape with and Acrylic adhesive

a bit like the cable rub stickers you get, but probably better and more expensive.

I don't think it's more expensive. You can buy a 2 meter roll of the stuff for about the same price as half a dozen small patches. You can then cut your own patches to whatever size and shape you want and they won't have stupid pictures of lizards on them. ;)
 
I use bike tape on cranks to prevent foot rub damage.
It's cheap and quick to apply so I replace when it starts looking tatty, which takes ages anyway.
The logos are still in great condition on all cranks I've applied it to.
 
I tend not to use it, but in the past when I have it has been on the chainstay and the underneath of the downtube
