I went to the Mercedes dealership and they offered me Auto Armor paint protection for my car. ?

Does anyone know anything about this? Is there some way to purchase this at a location other than the dealership? The dealership was charging $1500. Thank you.I went to the Mercedes dealership and they offered me Auto Armor paint protection for my car. ?
and it cost them $100 what a rip off your cars paint has all the protection its ever going to need from the factoryI went to the Mercedes dealership and they offered me Auto Armor paint protection for my car. ?
Any paint protection purchased at the dealer is designed for just one thing: PROFIT! Don't buy any of this ';protection';. Also, don't believe everyone that says your paint is okay the way it is from the factory- they are wrong too! The paint MB uses today is poorly designed due to it being water based. While this is great for our environment, it's not so great for lasting as long as your car will (mechanically speaking). Several factors can ruin your paint. Acid rain, bird droppings, tar, salt, etc. all will damage the paint over time.





Try going here: http://www.griotsgarage.com and check out their products. Especially their one step paint sealant. I use it on my show cars 3 times every year and the stuff works- and WELL! You'll save $1500 and know that your paint is protected by doing it yourself.


Also, NO paint protection will last YEARS! This is all BS! You should seal your paint as conditions determine. Either once a year (minimum) or up to 10 times if you live next to a coal plant in Jersey.


Makes sense doesn't it?





Hope this has informed you and enjoy your new Benz!
Auto Armor is good stuff but $1500 is way too much for it. Paint protection alone should be about 1/3 of that. Go to a detail shop or dealership that is NOT a Benz dealer.
This is how dealerships really make money...the aftermarket add-on's such as paint protection, rust proofing, etc.


Check around and you'll find the same service offered much cheaper elsewhere.
Don't do it, it is a scam as you have suspected.
