I have twice been offered supagard when collecting 2 used vehicles bought over the telephone fro 2 large national chains, So when would they have done it? in the 5 minutes before i was due to drive away?

I wonder if anyone anywhere has ever had a successful claim when bird droppings have damaged a car's Superguarded paintwork.

Perhaps they have never needed to?

pushed onto car buyers at main dealers to increase profits

Yes, of course they are, why else would does anyone sell anything?

Have you never bought a bag of crisps when you've gone the pub for a pint or picked up a bar of chocolate at the supermarket check-out?

As long as people know what they are buying (ie they are not mis-sold) why do you have a problem with the practice of selling "add-ons"

Supergaurd on the other hand has so many variables and at the the best ranks on extortion

Extortion is the wrongful taking of property (incl money) by use of threats.

What you mean is you don't like some aspect of the product or the way it is sold, so you're making up untruths to back up your dislike for it.

For what it's worth I buy Autoglym lifeshine kits off ebay for about £10 ~ 15 and do it myself, takes 2 to 3 hours to do it properly. Not convinced that it's any better than 6 monthly applications of ordinary autoglym on the paintwork BUT the upholstery treatment appears to work well.

Be warned though the "never polish your car again" guarantee with any of these products is dependant on using their (expensive) shampoo kits as per the instructions.

you get the same results by regularly washing the car and waxing 3 or 4 times a year

Totally agree, but this doesn't mean

"you'll never have to wax or polish your car again"

is

Utter nonsense

does it?

It is an aspect of the product that appeals to some people.
