Default Pre Pickup Questions A question about Paint.

My dealer tried to persuade me to get this paint protection by this company:
http://expressprotection.com/index.html

it is called express care premium paint protection which protects against weathering. she told me it would be great for my orange shiny car.

it costs $395 and she claims only the dealer can put this on for me.

it sounds like a load of sh*t to me.

I have until tomorrow or the next day to decide if I want it.

Did anyone here get this? Or are most of you guys stock paint?

Thanks.

Ok that stuff is crap honestly. My dealership told me about it, but the girl writing up the contract told me that it wasn't worth it.

Get scotch fabric protector for the inside of the car, it works just as good.

As far as the paint protection, get a clear bra asap. Look around your area for installers and get different quotes. I have it on my car and it really makes a difference honestly. Hold off on any other mods and get the clear bra first. The leather bras aren't worth it since they trap the dust between it and the paint so it still scratches the paint.

Was this the dealer that has the RS 1 on the lot or the one who still has your monies? Try a different dealer I guess.

This is the one with the RS on the lot.

The dealer with my monies just came through actually. They found me one at a local dealer to give me tomorrow or thurs.

Still waiting though. At least I have one in the lot in case this other one doesn't work out.
