Paint Protection and Interior

[tigger73]

I've been quoted just shy of a grand for a thing called Glass Coat for my new R wagon that gets delivered this week. It isn't garaged so is parked near birds etc. Is this a good price for what I'm getting or should I shop around?

Most of the cost is in the preparation. Some places will just wash your car and put a product on it and charge a large fee. This is what happens with your normal dealer “paint protection “.

If it’s similar to this then I’d say it’s expensive and not worth the $. Personally I’d just wash the car and apply the product myself. You’ll end up with same result and save yourself a decent chunk of change.

Also what happens in marketing of various coatings is that each company calls it something different but I suspect a lot of them come from the same supplier/factory with a different brand/name on the bottle.

For $1,000 you would want a decent level of paint correction done to correct surface imperfections before a product is applied. Plus you want the coating to be 100% cured before driving/getting it wet otherwise you’ll wash it off.

.. and with the money saved over what some people are spending (5%+ of purchase price?!?) you will quickly afford a good set of wheels, tune, holiday.

I'm doing the quote collection thing at the moment.

Was going to get Opticoat. Now leaning towards Pom.
