Dealer`s "paint protection" package.

**mrtonyn** · 06-12-2009, 05:02 PM

Hey guys...what is your thought on this? My neighbor just bought a nice black
300C SRT8 and the dealer sold him the paint protection package. Exactly what it is that they do or put on the paint? Are they using a more superior product than what we have access to?

I got sucked into the simoniz when i bought my truck (for 750 bucks). I wouldnt bother

Not sure what products they are using as each dealer has different vendors for things like that.

Most of the time it`s a total waste of money. I know some that pay thousands to have the dealer seal the paint and then the dealer tells them to never wax it...... what a joke.

Exactly... they may slap a quick coat of cheap wax on it...........or (more likely) they may do nothing at all!!!

Complete ripoff.

I don`t think they are using anything better than I have put on my car. I would take Klasse AIO or FMJ over any of their stuff and my technique will be far superior.

I too have heard dealers say not to wax. Someone back in the day started a myth that clear coat replaced waxing forever.

don`t even bother getting your car detailed by them. For the price they will rip you off you can by a lot of detailing products for yourself. You`ll be better off doing it yourself, then getting a DISO (dealer installed swirl option).

package...I know it is a scam for them to make easy money.
Someone had told me that it is nothing but a "glorified wax job" that they can easily charge up to $1000.00 for it....OUCH !!!
I could not convince my neighbor on saying NO...oh well, his money not mine.
