as per the title - I'm being offered seal & protect on a used car (2007 Audi so not too old)

I can see the potential benefit on a new car but used? costs about £300 - I would be pushing for it to be thrown in FOC but should I be trying to get value off the car rather than a 'freebie' extra?

Thoughts? ta

Costs about £30, and is hugely profitable for the dealership, and the individual salesman who flogs it to you.

All these things are an utter waste of time anyway - not worth £30 let alone £300!

For £300 get the car detailed, or get into detailing yourself- it canlaugh be rewarding.

And one other thing: it stinks of dog - they said that the valet chap will use a smoke bomb/machine to get the smell out. Will this work long term - I be gutted if in 6 months I get a wiff of mutley!
