    I was considering Opticoat, as it seems to be one of only a few products that's worth the money. My brother had it applied to his VW and after several years of parking on the street in Sydney, it still looks brand new.

    Paint protection is normally just a great money earner for the dealer. Normal washing/polishing is fine for new paintwork.

    I'm certainly not doing it through the dealer, everyone knows that. It wasn't offered anyway.

    I'll be going through a specialist of my own choosing if I decide to go ahead.

    I had a product called Permagard put on. They currently hold the contract for most commercial airlines in Australia like Qantas and Virgin. The stuff is for real and is CSIRO certified and since all the airlines have picked it up so have Porsche, BMW and a few other exotics are in discussion. It is the same product used on the planes as it is the marine and road cars. There's nothing like it on the market.

    Cheers,

    Ant

    That's good to know, I'll definitely look into it.

    Thanks

    Yep, Heard all about all of those products.
    Wifey bought a new Audi S3 recently, so I considered all of those products,...in detail.
    I am not "Anal" about my cars, but I do like to look after them, & I do.
    Our Defender is kept in a garage when not being used, Wifey's S3 being used daily, is kept under the carport.
    We respect our cars, we keep them clean, we wash then regularly, we clean any bird poo etc off them as soon as we see it, and we polish 'em .......once a year, on their birthday,.....and our cars look,...brand new.
    I don''t think ya need it, Pickles.

    For paint protection i would recommend using an Invisible Car Bra. It is a polyurethane film that permanently attached to the exposed paint surface of your car.. But do your research as lot will depend on who applies product on your vehicle..

    I'm the same, I wash my cars regularly and do everything I can to look after the paint. I've got plenty of time to think about it, anyway.

    I had the $2,000 protection package offered, Tint/Leather/Paint, which I politely declined. They were a bit put out, must be a fair bit of commission in that package...
