Wax Guard, Complete Care Packages?

Question

I am looking at buying a new car and the sales lady has told me about a new form of 'protection' for the car. It is called Complete Care package and its done by a company called Wax Guard (www.waxguard.com.au) I was just wondering if anybody has had this done to there car and if it was worth the $2500 they charge for it.

Answer 1

That $2500 kit will not mean that your car never need sto be washed or waxed or not get scratches or bird poop etching or rock chips or door dings.

Skip it and look for a reputable professional detailer. For that amount, they can detail your car 10 times or more and make it look better than new for a lot longer.

If you are willing to do-it-yourself, read Autopia's Guide to Detailing. If you are driving a fancy car, this would be an opportunity to bond with your car.

Answer 2

That sounds like a bunch of money. For what? A wax job? This is service something like Z-barth that we have in the states?

I doubt that you'll need it. Just use a quality wax on the car and you'll be fine. Modern cars are built pretty well I think it's just an add-on that will get her some extra commission.

Answer 3

I know alot of people, claim to have this, some type of teflon crap or whatever. I'm a car detailer, and you wouldn't believe how many people would still come to me and have their cars detailed, either 2 days or months after they bought the car. I don't believe in it, it may help to protect the clear coat and all.

$2500!?!?! Just spend $150-$300 to have someone do a 3-Stage Detail

Answer 4

Forget it. If you do a complete Mothers three step process each year you'll save $2,500 dollars. She's trying to sell a complete ludicrous stunt on a customer. Call any local body shop and see what they say. The sales lady is trying to "soak" you for a product that costs less than $50 bucks total to apply to your paint. It's a come on gimmick so the dealer can pad his profit.
