Williams Ceramic Coat Protection
Discussion
I've just put a deposit on a 4.4 Vogue FFRR, in black, and the dealer is trying to sell me Williams Ceramic Coat Protection for it. Apparently underwritten by Williams (as in Frank) for 5 years post-application, and is supposed to leave the car such that it will return to full shine just with water.
Seems too good to be true, therefore....
But I've had a few black cars in my time and have never managed to get them looking REALLY shiny, so I wonder whether this is a worthwhile expenditure? It's about £300 though. Thoughts?

Don't even let them touch your car.
That stuff might be a resonable product but it's a ripoff @ stealer prices and even then they will wash/buff the car badly sealing in all the swirls and buffer trails from poor dealer prep.
Find a real good detailer in your area and get a good protection detail from them instead.

This. Standard showroom prep is poor as it'll often be done by some muppet who hasn't a clue. If you've spent all that on a new RR I'd defo get a professional job done. It'll never last for life though. Certainly not with our weather. Don't even let them touch your car.

There are mobile guys now too but I'd go on a recommendation.
Years ago I discovered "Wet Paint" an American detailing coating. I used it on a black MB W210 E-class and the photo of the mirror finish roof of that is on the website:"Wetpaintglaze" in the gallery. I later took the car to the Frankfurt MB dealership, where my nephew worked at the time,and he asked me to remove it since it put the new cars to shame, and made the older ones look positively shabby. I can clean the car without washing, unless it is utterly filthy. My current 9-y-o silver W211 is less dramatic but also remains highly bulled for over a year, after the first couple of applications, even when carwashed(!). So, as coatings go, the few dollars (around 30 if I remember aright) I paid have proved a lot less than GBP600. And you can use it on a windscreen.
