I`ve only read the first page so if someone else already said it, oh well.
I don`t recall any customer ever asking me about a warranty. I think a lot of them have been either burned in the past or a suspicious of dealership claims and prices on sealant system (thanks in part to people talking about it on car forums) and are just looking for a good detail and someone who will take care of their car for the long haul. Even people inquiring about Opti-Coat don`t seem that interested in a specific warranty. They do ask my opinion about how long I believe it will protect their paint but as of yet no one was specifically asked "will you warranty/promise that". Now, I have mentioned that at some point Optimum will offer a warranty but no one has asked me specifically what that covers, seems they are already sold on the product before they even talk to me about applying it.
Is there money to be made offering a product with a warranty? Probably. But there are also liability issues. Like how to handle any problems that the warranty might cover, what my responsibilities are as the person who applied it, what if the owner of the car moves out of the area, etc. I`m just playing a wait and see game right now, want to see how this plays out as legitimate long term paint protection product continue to roll out.
