Fuck NO.

For £400, you could get your own detailing products/supplies to last you for a good couple of years!!

It really isn’t.

Garages will say all sorts of things to sell shite that you can get cheaper online etc.

AutoGlym have dozens of products. And none of them last a lifetime LOL.

They must have seen you coming!!

Is it to make it look better or to keep it looking good for resale?
You wont get anymore for nice paint when you sell.....just shove it through a car wash they day you sell it. If you love and polish your car it might be worth it.

Hi OP, I take it you're new to buying a car?

Definitely a no from me! I've been a car owner for over 40 years and from rebuilding engines in crappy runabouts to owning new cars I have never had any seat or paint treatment.

It's a way for them to scam a few hundred pounds out of gullible car buyers. No one who has experience of buying cars would ever agree to pay the extra. It's normally a new car hard sell as on a second hand car the 'damage' is already done! And it's not a case of choosing this and being able to just sit back and your car stays clean. You still have to wash and polish etc.

As said, buy yourself some products and look after the car yourself.
