I recommend you do the same as me...

Dont pay £350 + from the dealer, only for their monkeys to botch it, instead buy it off Ebay...my full LifeShine pack only cost me £70 and it was fully sealed from the original factory delivery.

The contents are great apart from the interior protectant...don't bother with that one.

well Seat have already done it and as i said i havent paid for it but they gave me a life shine kit for me to continue keepin it clean and shiney.

As for the pics, ill clean it on sunday and take some pics for you, ive taken it up and down the motorway and its a bit dirty at the mo.

You can buy a Supgard sponge off of Ebay for £3 and the scotchgard for another £3.

As long as the body is clean and prepped well ie fine scratches removed ect the paint selant is as easy to apply as any normal wax. Then you can wax it to deepen the shine as a selant is just that a selant and needs a wax on top to deepen the lustre. Never polish as that has mild abrasives that will remove the selant.

Autoglym gloss gard is good as is Zymol or Collonite. Did two car's with one sponge and a year on the car is still easy to clean and a good wax every couple of months is keeping the paint as good as new and no dreaded swirl marks.

Lifeshine is only any use if 1. It's free and 2. It's applied corretly but even then I personally think it's a waste of time. I've detailed several cars with lifeshine previously applied and it's gone. Here is my car with a good machine polish and wax. Far better IMO than any of these products that claim to do everything in one step and lasts for years.
