Options Diamondbrite Protection

CivicOp2mist · 23rd August 2007, 21:46

Hi All

Advice please I am due to collect my first Civvy on 01/09/07 and Dealer has asked me if I want the Diamondbrite Protection at £299 with the offer of a refund of £200 if I do a part ex in 3 years time with same dealer.

Is this a rip off or should I go for it

Deal or No Deal guys?????????????? What should I do

Help please anyone

Buy it off ebay & do it yourself & save £290

Or just don't bother period, and use a good cleaning/waxing(sealanting) regime instead.

Use Turtle Wax Top Coat Sealer and follow it with a good pure wax. I use Swissol/Swissvax. these Diamondbrite/Autoglym sealers are a complete rip off. If youre adamant then get it off eBay and do it yourself

I have Supagard & to be honest at the moment I wouldn't know the difference. Maybe it will be different in a year or so, but there probably is no substitute for washing, polishing & sealing the car yourself.

The dealer threw the protection in with ours. Couldn't get much more out of 'em though

. Might be worth haggling a bit more?

Stealer through it in free for mine. Remember it does give you 6 years guarantee on paint work, alloys and interior (premium only). Stand stern and haggle (if you can be ar*ed). But if you can get it off ebay (or similar) why not - hey. At least you'll have the piece of mind you have covered every inch of your new spaceship!!!!

Which one did you go for if you don't mind me askin!
