Anyone paid to have a high gloss finish added to their Pork as part of a vehicle protection programme ?

I am being told that with this stuff added all I need do is wash the car to bring it back to a good shine. Customer pack is also supplied along with interior stain insurance for £550.

Good value or one born every minute ?

If it is Diamondbrite or Supergard ,dont do it ,absolutly shxt and a wast of money, you would do better getting one of the detailers that you can find on PH to quote you, of buy some Zymol and do it yourself

there is also a big profit for the dealers.

if your totally lazy and never want to bother sepending time cleaning your p&j then fine but if you want to have it detailed or just yourself polish it then it's a waste of time and money.

The latter, as I suspect you already know!
Just another high profit margin sales scam. As others have suggested, get a professional detailer to go over it if you want it to look immaculate. As far as washing goes, if you do it properly it'll keep its shine anyway.

It actually works pretty well and is low maintenance BUT at £550 its a complete rip off. There are indies who will do the same job for around £150

Anyone who pays 100s of pounds to have their bloody car polished is either stupid, got money to burn or stupid and got money to burn. Lazy also springs to mind!
Clean your car yourself and make a small donation to charity..You will feel a whole lot better!!!smile

There are some people who are time rich and cash poor and others who are cash rich but time poor. Each to his own and I wouldn't call either one.

I do know though that there is no way that I could get a finish like the one Glyn got on my 911, nor would I get any particular enjoyment out of spending 8 hours doing it.

Paying Glyn to spend 8 hours doing it meant that when I cleaned it, it took me relatively little time and still looked brill smile
