The GM dealer I bought my car from (used) wouldn't let me close without buying some crappy Zaktek program that started at like $500, and was finally knocked down to $50...which I guaranteed I would never come in to get reapplied because I clay and apply sealant myself in the spring and fall.Dealer gave my car a exterior clearcoat sealant/paint/scratch protection package as part of the deal......
:uhh:
And of course, no one who sells waxes is going to tell you that you don't need to wax the car....Yeah..GM only wants you to use the specially licensed or certified GM products like DEOX2 rated oil....
Yes, keeping it out of the sun, and not getting carried away with polishing probably had a lot of do with it.I owned a '97 Civic for 16 years and never waxed it. When I traded it in in 2013, the clear coat over the dark green metallic paint still looked like original. Same goes for the silver '03 Protege5 out in the garage. The new '13 Civic is still un-waxed and not likely to be. Of course they're all garaged when not being driven and that may be the reason for the paint holding up without anything but soap and water.
Put some pictures of it up.that's my whip in my avatar. I know its very sexy if it were a woman I'd marry it lmfao.
The one of my car is called Cilajet, and it also protects Interior parts as well.. supposedly.The GM dealer I bought my car from (used) wouldn't let me close without buying some crappy Zaktek program that started at like $500, and was finally knocked down to $50...which I guaranteed I would never come in to get reapplied because I clay and apply sealant myself in the spring and fall.
On their end they still billed the full price, while knocking $450 off the price of the car for bean counting purposes I suspect.
