I used to be a prestige professional detailer 10 years ago.

All I can say is DON'T get any paint treatments on your car no matter how good the dealer says they are.

They are simply SNAKE OIL treatments (re: bogus).

In the dealerships I used to work for, it was a well known fact that the paint treatments were simply a profit center for the dealer to extract more money from the consumer. The best part for the dealer was, that as the purchase price of the protectant was 'tacked on' at the purchase time, it was often rolled into the lease so the customer never really felt the extra payments. Then, the dealer made even more money on the car 'cause of the interest they made.

And, the dealer was also guaranteed income for the life of the car as they ONLY recommended the branded maintenance products that supported the paint treatment products! If the customer didn't use the approved products, they voided their warranty. How convenient!!!

What a cash cow this is!!!

Zaino is by far a better product than any paint protectant treatment. Treatments like Simonize are ok, but Zaino is far better. The best part about Zaino is that it is very reasonably priced! I am thinking of becomming a distributor of Zaino so that I can offer it to you guys easily.

Besides, the fun is in polishing and waxing your car yourself!
