    Paint & Interior Protection treatment

    I reckon these types of treatments, like autoglym life shine, are a bit of a scam personally. Generally costs a £couple hundred on top of sale price, and the products they apply probably cost them less than £20.

    My opinion is you're going to have to wash and wax the car anyway so it's probably not good value for money.

    Would agree to be honest it what I thought originally. It was the SupaGuard Products that I went for which includes a big laptop style bag full of Shampoo, Alloy Wheel Cleaner, Polish etc. etc.

    At the time we had all but done the deal, I had the Salemans Shirt "to quote him" but want more before I would close the deal so they offered SupaGuard.

    TBH now I have had the Car 6 months and with it being all Black the Supaguard does what it says on the tin especially with bird muck it just wipes off easily.
