Default Simon Says Simonize

What do you guys think of the dealer selling Simonize paint protection (and saying it will never need waxing)? Anyone get this? Good for anything or complete ?

My first dealer was also going to include ScotchGard for the seats. My best recollection is that he was only going to charge $300, a bargain according to him.

I said no thanks because I'd already read about it here.

F....ing lying dealer. Enough already! This is the 4th post today that I answered concerning lousy dealers.

The Simonize paint protection is good for lining the dealers pocket with your money.

If it sounds to good to be true...it usually is.

If a car salesman tells you it's true...it's most certainly

Tell your dealer that you wouldn't but their "protection" for a dollar. That's what I did. If there were actually some ultimate paint protection in a bottle then everyone would have one in their garage and nobody would spend all that time waxing/polishing.
