The "Paint Protectant" was a cheap-azz knock off wax, and they didn't even put it on your car At delivery, the workers in the back would simply use the spray I mentioned above.


So bottom line: Paint Protectant is a scam, DO NOT PURCHASE, EVER. Under coating and VIN etched windows and pin striping and "appearance package" are also scams.

Clear bra is good to go.

cool thanks. I didn't end up getting it under the watchful eyes of the 350z forum!

Excellent! Glad we could help you out My brother was buying a car a few months back and was excited about his new gap insurance and paint protection. I about lost my mind... I made him go back to the dealership as soon as he stepped foot in the door, and take all that crap off and renegotiate the deal haha.

Oh, and don't get gap through the dealer, get it through your lender (if you are being financed by the dealer, then do it).
