Replying to: oc2020 (Oct 09, 2007 12:30 pm) Is the protection they put on your car worth $600? Absolutely NOT! And that's assuming they even put it on to begin with. What may be worth the $600 is the warranty it comes with. Some people claim that their package comes with a lifetime warranty on internal or external stains. Check the fine print before shelling out your hard earned dough. If the warranty stinks, as it did with my Acura dealership, then yeah... spend a percentage of that on good car care chemicals and do it yourself...it's not hard and doesn't take much time, unless your slightly obsessive like me or laurasdada up there.  I also like Zaino. It works well and is very easy to work with, once you learn the steps. If you want to learn more on dos and dont's, check out Autopia

Replying to: upstatedoc (Oct 12, 2007 5:04 am) I should consider that... The problem would be explaining it to the crazy wife. She hates when I wash my car, never mind when I offer to clean someone else's! |

Well, I felt very stupid afterwards, but here it goes.... While trying to park the car at the shopping mall, I came too close to the pavement. That part of the pavement was red. So, now under the front bumper of my TL, I have red paint scratches...about 10 inches long area! It is not visible unless you go down and look at the bottom of the bumper. I read elsewhere that some polish might remove the paint marks. I guess I should try polish first and then rubbing compound. Sonus has so many kinds of polish products and someone suggested using Zaino Z5. Any other ideas? What should I do? Thanks, |
