My dad's ordered a BMW M140i and we've been offered 'Protect X' – which I gather is just a glorified paint sealant – free of charge.

I'm no detailing expert, but my worry is that the paint won't be properly prepared before the sealant is applied, meaning bad paint could be 'sealed in' or, at worst, further paint damage caused.

It also includes some kind of interior leather protection, although this is a bit less controversial.

We wouldn't have paid a penny for it, but it was free. So, should we take them up on it?
