Did anyone buy the "DuPont – Automotive Protection"? It was $495 at the dealer.
The sales pitch it you never need to wax for 5 years. Also, you don't need to reapply anything every few months.
I did a google search and didn't find much about the product on the internet. A few people calling it snake oil and others saying it's too expensive.
I am sure the clear coat is fine and will last 5+ years, but for $100 year to keep my car looking like it's just waxed seems like a good deal.
Would would be a better deal is something "very similar" without the high cost or the paint warranty.
What are "chemically bonds cross linking agents"? Sounds good, but maybe it's just wax, I really don't know.
Thoughts?
