Dealer Scotchguard - yay/nay?
Hi All,
Just ordered my MCSC and got all the info on the maintenance packages, among which was the interior/exterior scotchguard deal. I'm not concerned about the exterior but I got leather seats so want to protect them as much as possible - any thoughts, feeback or experience with this?
Thanks in advance -

For the carpets, buy a can of scotchguard at the hardware store and do that part yourself for a few bucks. on the clear bra, find an independent to do that. Stay as far away as possible from drive thru car washes and anything that says armorall. Hand wash asap, clay bar (deceptively easy to do) and a couple of coats of quality carnuba wax 2 or 3 times a year and keep a California duster handy at all times.

What many don't know/consider is the way this scheme works. The dealer takes in $X for the service and pays an insurance underwriter. Then when there is a stain they can't remove, they file a claim and the insurer pays out. You're not paying (say) $500 for stain protection that will guarantee they remove any stain, you're paying $495 for insurance with a hefty profit margin and $5 for a spray-on stain protector. The same holds true for the paint protection etc. They bank on people not bothering to file claims so the underwritten cost is low and margin high. Run away.
