TST Teflon means just a quick bucket of water every 3 months, no drying as water runs off good as new.

Thats what i have been told.

Are these all porkies

No Zaino in sight, showroom shine ?

If you're going to get anything like this, don't pay dealer prices, have a search in the Yellow Pages for valeting companies and the like who will do the same thing for half the price. You could even ask the dealer who he uses to do it then contact them direct.

IMHO all these 'treatments' are a bit of a rip off - when you get the car use a cleanser to strip the finish back to the paint, then put a couple of layers of Zymol or Zaino on it and there will be as much protection for a couple of hours work. You will still need to wax the car with the teflon coating anyway if you want to stop the paint getting dulled, so you may as well start as you mean to go on.
