i was skeptical about this addon in the dealership, especially after reading in this forum, but i went for it and im glad i did. normally as when i turn up to the dealer to pick up a new car I am looking for the closest exits, getting anxiety from all the smiling salesmen gravitating towards me trying to shove shitty extras down my throat.

They sell this with a various array of benefits, it sounded like crap to me as they were saying it protects against discolouration . Mainly for me It acts as a good hydrophobic layer, everytime it rains the water just sits on my car as pictured, also same with the windows and doesnt leave marks when it drys. I can tell the difference between my car and other black cars on the street, my neighbour has a new black x5 and from what i can tell he has no protection. It helps to a certain extent to repel dirt aswell. i feel like i can get away with washing it less as a result, or maybe i just want to believe that in my head..

my question is - the dealer said i dont need to wax the car again..i asked him a few times if he means 'forever'. seems wrong to me? anyone know anymore about that

Don't believe that "Do not need to wax" line. You need to probably do it once a year. There are other ceramic products that has 1 yr guarantee. Just clean it and then spray to reinforce the previous coating. Make sure that you clay it first.

Assuming it's a ceramic coating, they have a life of 1-4 years depending on brand or type. On mine I have one that lasts about 2 years. Every maintenance wash about 7-10 days depending on weather. Once a month or so I give it a refresher. I use CarPro reload. lots of choices out there from diy to professional and spending a few thousand dollars. Best of luck with your choice and car.
