    Help! Dealer Paint Protection?

    My c4s cab has arrived and is having the 3M bra installed, the salesman asked if I want the auto armor sealant as well. I said I would let him know. Any opinions? I think this is likely bogus and intend to zaino the newborn (midnight blue metallic).

    Worthless. A lot of money for something that isn't any better than a coat of wax.

    Worthless. Spend the money on proper wash/wax items.

    Get in your new Porsche, and drive like hell as far away as you can get....

    Dealers love selling that Auto Armor junk, they make a quick and easy couple of bills off of clueless customers..

    (Don't take that the wrong way Peer, your skepticism obviously shows that you indeed have a clue.. Enjoy your new car!!)

    Maybe worse than worthless. Putting a potentially bogus coating on is muuuuuch easier than removing it. Not exactly car-related but knowing this makes you really smart to spend lots of time doing prep work.
