Don't do it. I work at a dealership where we use a similar product. It works well but it won't last even a year and its definently not worth the $500.

my friend got it on his truck. It is also a 5 year warranty on the paint itself. Last year 1 year later. He got bird **** all ove rthe car and didnt wash it off.

The bird **** discolored the paint. He took it to the dealer and guess what. They repainted the truck.

He also has the interior protectant, which is a 5 year warranty as well.

Suckers are born everyday and dealerships love no one more.

Don't be a sucker.

No one is dumb enough to admit that they paid $500 to have their car waxed.

What by the sounds you are talking about is a paint protectant, coating. AND DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It will ultimately wreck your paint by delaminating the paint reasonably quickly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seen it too many times. One of my 350 mates it just going through this drama with his '05. Bugs baked into the nose and he can't get them off!! Dealership is trying to find a resolve for him.

Just buy car grooming products like everyone else, and it doesn't keep your car looking shiny and you're not supposed to wash it with normal car wash or wax it. PLEASE DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!!

Can you tell us how much you paid for the tire warranty?

Don't do the ripoff so called paint sealant, its a ripoff! In fact, cancel the tire warranty, cause its a ripoff as well.

I bet you paid over $500 for the so called ripoff tire warranty? A note on this, it is not a lifetime replacement on the tires, just the wheels and that is if the wheels break, not if you hit a curb or something. In other words, its a RIPOFF! Read the fine print and then get back with us! Its basically an expensive Road hazard warranty that has a deductible!
