295 profit for them

Not at £375 retail, given there is £62.50 VAT, but you are correct in principle - most of the money paid by the customer goes to dealer profit.

On the other hand, at the right price they are very good products:- the paint protection does protect the car & the interior protects the seats & carpets.

However I'm pretty sure it does NOT work with leather

The cheapest option is to look on e-bay. These packs are generally held in the dealer valleting bay; the valleters apply only 1 pack per 2 cars, half-inches the 2nd pack & sells it on e-bay for a fraction of the dealer price. Ok you apply it yourself but it's a doddle.

If you want the dealer to apply it (thus with a guarantee) offer £150 incl VAT - they are still making about £40

Is that like Diamondbrite? when I bought my new Note last year the sales bod let slip that Diamondbrite was rubbish and removed the first time you took the car into a car wash. Since we had bought it some years ago on my Xtrail I knew that was the case anyway.

His new product 'Super-whizzo-gleamy-shiny-shine' was great and only £500. I politely told him no thank you. Fully intending to think about Autoglym. Given that my Note is always parked up garaged or under cover the paintwork even though it's red is fine so far.

Now I happen to have some left over Diamondbrite in my garage. If I can be bothered is Diamondbrite the stuff to use or Autoglym Super Resin (both of which I happen to have) or should I spend the 20 quid and buy some GardX on Fleabay -because thats all it is. Is GardX easy to apply?

Given it's a Red metallic should I do anything to it at all?
