BMW seal & protect
I'm not sure if I should get BMW seal & protect when I get my X1 2.3d in Alpine white in March.
Has anyone had experience of it or other after market paint sealants or wax's? My only experience is my current 3 series which is the easiest to clean car I've ever had, even the rain washes off the dirt, I can't find any record of it having seal and protect or supagard treatment etc but I'm convinced it must have had? I thought http://www.clean-image.co.uk/paint-s...protection.htm had some good articles on the various paint sealant protection systems but are they as good as the salesman says. Also I would rather pay someone who knows what they are doing £200 for 4 hours work than me spending a day doing it with some stuff I've bought from Halfords, so money is NOT the point, ease of future cleaning is my priority. |

I was also offered this service yesterday, here, the package is AU$3000, which I don't think I will be getting, my brother-in-law had the same package done, but he didn't find it of great advantage...

I received seal and protect free and applied it to the exterior paintwork myself which was a simple job.
However I didn't find it helped with washing the car which was disappointing, the dirt stuck to the paintwork as normal. I have reverted to Glym super resin polish I used on my 3 series and find it is superior, in general I just need to use a pressure washer on my white X1 a quick sponge perhaps, then rinse again and that's it, a nice easy job the way I like it. I would estimate the need to polish just once every 6 months and the polish goes on easily even if the car isn't completely dry, it's a very easy job. Even the insects come of easily with the pressure washer. |
