Hi all,

Not sure if this is the right place to post this query, if not please move it where appropriate.

I am seeking your opinions on a product that the dealership i bought my car from is consistently pressuring me to purchase.

They are stressing the importance of a product by "Protech Protection Technologies" which provides a paint protector against acid rain, sun damage, bird or bat droppings, tree sap etc. Also an interior protector for my leather for environmental elements and oil/water based spills.

They are backing this product with a heavy price tag of that close to $1,000.

I own a ute, essentially it is only two seats and half a car.. just for the record.

Questions are:
Is this product necessary?
Is this product over priced?
Has anyone else had this done and seen benefits?

Thanks for your assistance.

Paint protection is a dealer scam. You'd get more paint protection covering your car with a mixture of peanut butter and crushed toenail clippings.

Thats priceless, gotta love the way they try to sell that garbage. Its a wonder they didnt offer it half the price after you turned them down (assuming you have). Also love the sales pitch they give that it will hold better resale value if you have it done. What a crock.:spew:

Mate not worth it. you must use their special over priced shampoo/car wash, you cant polish the car ever and you must have it inspected every year to not void warranty. $1000 buys alot of very good cleaning products. I know all this from experience and wont ever get caught again. The best one is the window tinting they give it to you a great price supposedly. They just use one of the local tinters and if you take the car down after you buy it , you actually pay less.

Its funny you should mention about the Tint. When purchasing my car, they said they would include the tint FREE which i was quite happy to hear. When i collected the car, it turns out the product was from Solartint just down the road...I have seen this same product on a couple of friends cars and have been less than impressed to say the least, particular in reference to quality and duration which it remains in tact :confused:

Also, i am planning on getting some track stripes. They had another shot at trying to sell me this paint protector again sighting that if i were to want to remove the stripes at a later stage the colour of the paint would differ noticeably... i mean.. when the hell would i take them off?!?:bash:

Actual took mine back just after I got it because of some bird crap that had stain the paint and I did't want to do anything to void the warranty. Now when I got it done I couldn't pick it up for 2 days because the product had to be applied by a professional and the blessed by a budist monk or something but when I took it back some guy came out the front with some cutting compond rubbed it then left. When I asked whether the protection would need to be reapplied I was told no it will be fine. The car never looked shiney for the first 6 months so I just polished it and have done for 3years.

There are loads and loads of threads on the subject.

May have to try this new idea out. What ratio of toe nails do I need? Also I assume I would Crunchy peanut butter if I need to cut and polish; otherwise smooth would be best. :stick:

Same goes for the leather protection..............

Ask them these questions:

1. Exactly what is it and how will they apply it evenly/consistently now it has been put in to the vehicle.

2. Why does it need it - shouldn't the leather be made to a high enough specification from the tannery???

3. What is the added warranty given by using their product??

How cute was the broad they trotted out to try and sell it to you?

I've been tempted a number of times because they were stunningly cute but managed to eventually say no. Recently picked up a 2nd hand Clubby and one of its selling points was the paint protection but that never stopped them from trotting out the paint protection girl to try and sell it to me even though it was apparently already applied to the car!

i always get it, but ive never paid for it.... so it cant be worth much....
all i know is that it gives you an extra 1000 dollars when it comes trade-in time.... thats the only plus i see from it.... that, and the reduced cost PDR if ever needed.

The Bird didnt come out to sell it to me, stayed in her office and i was referred to her! And lets say... she was well below avarage. Id say not even worth paperbagging tbqh....:spew:

Really it was considered on trade in? Valued at an extra $1000? Im supprised. When i traded my car in they didnt even ask! and just picked the lowest price off redbook. I think they lost out though :P

My girlfriend actually sells this stuff in a dealership and you would be surprised at how many people buy it and some of the packs are over 2 grand. Last month the dealership sold 80 cars she sold 65 packs. They don't ask either if its been done on trade in just a matter of checking the glove box as all the warranty stuff is in the log books. I must say it does make cleaning leather seats easier. As for the paint protection that's what a good polish is for.

The chick who tried to sell it to me had great cleavage

At one stage sge also said the paint was not covered by waranty if I did not take the protection

I should have asked for that in writing

Anyway i was strong spoke to her for as long as I could then said no

I believe the protection seller can make more on commission than some of the salespeople

I ordered a car recently and was quoted $2K for the protection package plus some insurance policy for dents / scratches etc ... $1,100 up front plus $55 call-out every time you claim.

Considering things that small usually cost <$100 to fix you'd need to be making a claim every 2nd month just to get your money back!

Complete rort ... I was going to politely decline but decided to explain to them why I felt it was a crock of shit. Going by her reaction I don't think anyone had ever said no before!

Paint protection is not a scam. Yes it is overpriced and I wouldn't recommend anybody with a passing interest in cars to shell out for it. But the average punter isn't going to do any more than a quick wash down at the self serv or run it through a car wash. So any protection is better than no protection. Even some people who've replied to this thread don't know the difference between a polish and an LSP.

As a Spraypainter i can say that there are products out there, that in some way protect your paint, BUT after washing your car 3-4 times its no longer going to be there......So its not worth it at all....Having said that, i would recomend applying a good quality polish on "new cars", as BIRD SH!T(If left on paint for 24-48hrs) will eat throw any painted surface.....IF the "new car" is over a month old, it will be fine as its had time to cure....

Woteva I'm surprised you would advocate this stuff, given your membership on another forum and obvious knowledge displayed there. Some may say you were stirring the pot.
Whether or not Jo Bloggs knows what an LSP is makes no difference in this argument. Most, if not all, paint protection packages last no longer than a well prepared sealant, funnily enough. $100 will get you enough product to do a car 20 times.
The difference that 1 of these packs will make to the paint over the average length of time a customer retains a new car is nil.

SCAM

A fool and there money are soon parted. Luckily the dealership I bought my last new car from didn't wheel out a cute blonde with big cans and legs up to her shoulders - coz that would be hard to resist :)

As a spray painter you may want to determine the difference between a polish and something that is going to protect your paint from the elements. Polish certainly won't. Polish is for correction, it will not afford your paint any protection whatsoever. Also I'm not advocating it. I wouldn't pay for it and I wouldn't recommend it to anybody on this forum. The point I'm trying to get across is for the average punter who is not an enthusiast in any way whatsoever, paint protection is better than no protection.

Yes she was hot, but no i didn't get scammed.

These women actually believe the stuff they tell you. When I bought my Commodore the woman (not hot btw) told me I'd never have to wash my car again. I actually laughed out loud thinking she was joking but she was serious. I really believe that they really believe the spiel they give you in most cases.

A polymer sealant will last longer than a couple of months. Yes waxes are short lived but there are other options. Like jonesy said, you can buy a top quality sealant for $100 and have enough to do 20 cars. And this is basically what a dealer will flog off for $1000+.

My view of paint protection is that it does work. Is it a scam? I don't think the scam is in the product. I think the scam is in what they charge and the exaggerated claims made by the people selling the stuff. And I'll reiterate that for people who are motoring enthusiasts I wouldn't recommend it. But for the average Joe, unfortunately it is probably the only protection the car is ever going to see. Also most paint protection systems from dealerships have a clause in the contract stating that it must be reapplied every 12 months for it to remain effective. It isn't meant to last forever.

When I bought the Maloo on a Sat the normal bird selling this crap wasnt working another bird was and I said no to it all she protested a little until I said NO. Any way went to the pick Maloo up Thurs and the No 1 bird selling the crap was on she came in to give something to the salesman and she looked at me and said So your buying the Maloo out there, I said yes all exited and she just said So why the hell didnt ya get paint protection. I just looked at her in disbelief . Got my thoughts and told her cos its a scam and its all crap.
When she left I told the salesman I wanted an apology from her in person before I left . I got one but she wasnt to happy to do it. And I made a note on it on my Holden survey

Just cant believe how many ppl fall for that crap

Herein lies the only reason for paint protection to exist:

The after sales perv :nyuk: :up2sum:

if you play your cards right you can get a very high quality gander at the chick selling the stuff. That is what they bank on......so you may as well take advantage of it!

When you sit down with the "Ming moll" as they are known to the trade, be sure to act slightly aloof, and you will soon find the young lass turning on the charm. Leaning forward, back stretching will all be used to win your favour. Make sure you take full advantage of this. DO NOT be scared to look.....the more you look the more they turn it on for you. If you sense that the show is getting a bit tame and you want to spice it up a bit then hit her with an " oh I don't know if this package is right for me" or similar to get her juices flowing again. Lead her on as long as you see fit. When you are satisfied with the quality and duration of your perv, simply end it with a comment like "I've spent enough money today I think.....but maybe you can talk to me again when I come in for the first service?" You see this way you end it with her thinking you still might be interested.....and as a result you can sit down to another fantastic perv-fest while your car is getting serviced! :woohoo:

Great post your right on the money the average joe wont do a thing to there car and there the people that buy this stuff, yeah its dear but buy the same token it works. The honest truth is it costs the dealership under half of what they charge so when you break it down like that your really paying some guy to polish and seal your car. If you want to say its a scam blame the car yards its not the people selling it nor is it the people applying it.

The only reason my missus sells the stuff is cause she's on close to 2 grand a week, hell id sell shit for toothpaste and say its a great product for that type of money and everyone of you out there would do the same.

this is the biggest rort out there. it,s not the product as i,ve used it on my toilet for yaers and have no complaints. it,s the sales pitch. as said before it,s for the muppets who have no idea about car care. having been with australia,s biggest dealer for 20+ years i have seen and heard it all. 1 ming moll told a customer that the rust protection was so good he could drive his car into moreton bay and pull it out 3 mths later and it would still be perfect. omg. it all comes down to buyer beware. dealers make bugger all on the sales but smash you when you get hit by the aftermarket moll. i,ve seen the figures and i know. no shit. they are the most hated person in a dealership due to them riding on the salesmans back. one other good one is they don,t tell you your car is not covered for rust protection above the window moulds. i don,t know if that still applies as most are electric rust proofing. like i said seen it, all heard it all, dealt with p#ssed off customers.:bawl::bawl::bawl::bawl:

I know this paint protection is all garbage as my best mate has a car care franchise. They charge xxxx amount of dollars for basically applying a polish. Nothing any car loving enthusiast couldnt do once a year. If your just the average Jo blo who doesnt care too much about cars it might help preserve your metallic paint for a couple of extra years but regularly polishing your car is the best protection by far.

You pay $1000 to have shit polished on by an underpaid teen and 3 teenyweeny bottles of scented crud that is supposed to last you the life of the car ... Upside, you get a fancy looking tin to keep it all in and a certificate with your name mispelled on it ... !!!!


BIG F^KIN DEAL!!

WOFTAM IMO!!! Experience says so ...

Lazy people think its a fuggin grouse idea, they pulled a gorilla outta their butts to never have to worry about washing thier brand new car and still have it looking good ... Sure it protects the car, but for $1000 id rather pay $5.95 for a bottle of turtle wax and the other $994.05 on some hot BDSM bitch to soddomise me ... That way I got a wax on me car and a real fukkin good look at some tits and ass while I get screwed over!

Sorry to dig up an older thread, but I signed the contract for a 2007 Senator tonight and these stories ring so true!

Yes, the paint protection girl was a stunner, and yes she sounded convincing. But when I asked how they could tell when a 2nd hand car had protection applied from new, she told me they normally check for receipts in the glove box. But they also (get ready to laugh) chemically test every car that comes in the lot to see if it has been applied!! Man, that made me smile (more than her low cut top).

All I want is window tint, so I'm off to search LS1 for some real info.

Herein lies the only reason for paint protection to exist:

The after sales perv :nyuk: :up2sum:

if you play your cards right you can get a very high quality gander at the chick selling the stuff. That is what they bank on......so you may as well take advantage of it!

When you sit down with the "Ming moll" as they are known to the trade, be sure to act slightly aloof, and you will soon find the young lass turning on the charm. Leaning forward, back stretching will all be used to win your favour. Make sure you take full advantage of this. DO NOT be scared to look.....the more you look the more they turn it on for you. If you sense that the show is getting a bit tame and you want to spice it up a bit then hit her with an " oh I don't know if this package is right for me" or similar to get her juices flowing again. Lead her on as long as you see fit. When you are satisfied with the quality and duration of your perv, simply end it with a comment like "I've spent enough money today I think.....but maybe you can talk to me again when I come in for the first service?" You see this way you end it with her thinking you still might be interested.....and as a result you can sit down to another fantastic perv-fest while your car is getting serviced! :woohoo:
You DOM UT!!! :nyuk::goodjob:

The only paint protection ive see work and last for about 2 years is Called C1 Gtechniq acually formsa a crystal coat to the paint work Ive Seen this put on a vehical and i'm sceptical but was amazed going to get my car done soon when i can
http://www.gtechniq.com

After my last detail Damian at Final Inspection applied what he calls Seal Strong, saying it will last over a year - I believe him 100%!! Not specifically paint protection but acts effectively as such. Much cheaper than "paint protection" from a dealer too! Costs $90 inc. him applying it. Works very well - just hose down car and clean - super shiny!

Signed my car contract at 8.30pm 2 weeks ago. Said yes to paint protection.
Wondering wtf I was thinking. It's not like the chick was a stunner either!

To make myself feel better I'm splitting the cost of that with the 'free' tint and telling myself they were 'only' $450 each.

Fkn douchebag :(

PS anyone know how long getting this shit done adds to the time between the dealership receiving my car and me getting it?

Whatever you happens, DO NOT even think about paint and leather protection. It's a rort and it looks crap.

Nothing looks better or protects better than a good dose of high quality wax.

The dealers send the birds around to try and get you interested in it. Probably figure it's a way of clawing back on the deal they cut you.
