Default Re: Paint Protection - Xzilon

What a load!

The dealership I worked for sold their "super duper, nuclear fission powered 7 year paint protector" for 600 bux as well. The finance guy once bragged to me that the product cost the dealer $17.50 plus the 0.5 hour minimum wage cost to have "Hose-A and Hose-B" rub it on during PDI. (as he was grinning and making a different kind of rubbing gesture)

Basically, if you do nothing but wash the finish as directed the paint is designed to last the (warranty) life of the car. Chrysler, for instance, learned that the class-action hard way about ten years ago.

Beyond that, if you really want the finish to shine like new, you have to wax it every so often and strip/claybar it once a year. There is no getting around it.

These snake oil products have been around forever. How many people who admitted to paying for it once, would do so again on a subsequent purchase?
