Is this a dealer applied sealant that lasts for five years or something like that?

 

[jeffreyhuhn]

yes. pass.

 

[SoK]

right, they contract through someone else to do the work though. Appearantly is like a rainx on steroids. They coat everything on the outside including the wheels and glass and they do everything on the inside.

they had a car with it applied to the hood in the showroom. Right when I got there friday to pick my car up the guy i was working with grabbed me n took me over to the car before we started on the paperwork. The guy grabs a can of spray paint and tells me to spray the hood. I'm like wtf? OK, spray the hood and we go finish up signing papers. Once we finished he walked me back over to the car and just wiped the spray paint off with his finger...

:yes: It's the stuff you can use spray paint on and it wipes right off. It's the stuff Boeing uses! They even sell a product that prevents dings and dents..Yeah Sure......

my salesman set an entire car on fire, with the finance manager inside. We went back over an hour later and they were dead.

[jeffreyhuhn]

why?

Money for nothing.

 

[SoK]

oh well. we'll see how i like it. should be nice never having to wax the car and u don't even have to use soap when u wash it. just spray it off. no discoloring of the wheels from brake dust and corrosion either from what I've been told.

Did you know that everything you are offered by the F & I(Fleece and Insult) people is marked up to the max.

For the money you could have detailed annually by a professional detailer.

Don't you think if it was really that easy EVERYONE would be doing it?

 

[jeffreyhuhn]

Get your money back.

so so true...
a real polishing/wax job FTW:banana:

 

[SoK]

no, because you still have to pay for it, most dealers don't offer it, and it's only been in the automotive market for about a year and a half.

What's your experience with this product again?

dealer had the service marked down nearly $400 from what it costs normally.

Just wondering, how much did you pay??

 

[SoK]

$600, 5 yr transferable warranty. I have the option to re-coat everything in 5 years for $150, which also renews the warranty.

 

[thesteve151]

well for $600 that is allot of detailing supplies.

i'd say that'll even out in time saved waxing the car over 5 years :notworthy

 

[Aviography]

You don't really belive this stuff is going to last 5 years, or even a couple of years, do you?

If you do, then I have some prime waterfront property in the North Pole I'd like to sell you!
