I didn't bother, saw it as a way for the dealer to make money.. may how he can drop his price in your case and if it's that good why don't Seat use it etc... there have been convo about before on here, some one said you can put it on yourself...

SAve your money, for that £150 you can buy some top end stuff, that will not only look better, but will probably last longer.

How can something have a ten year life span when it needs topping up every year with Autoglym Super resin Polish, this on it's own will remove any product the paint!
Your basicly paying the dealer a bag full of cash to put some polish on, that costs them about £10. And then you have the average dealer valeter applying it. Nuf said.

nope, but I've removed a few to get the car properly prepped and then detailed them to look like they should - good.

As above, its now money well spent IMHO, the appearance is flat and often appears hazed after just 3 months.

have a read through the car care section, view some of the reds which have been detailed and see how they are prepped just to get to a selant stage, the dealer wont do that...

If you dont prep, the end result wont be there.

Enjoy the new car, and welcome to the Altea fold :)
