Jason Hoverson 36737 Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 So yesterday I was at my local dealership and the head tech told me that they are now offering Auto Armor -- Ultimate Protection. Apparently they will clean and protect the paint and the entire interior. The cost I was told is around $600 but it includes a seven year warranty. Which after the seven years you can extend the warranty. The protection according to the brochure that they gave me states the following Warranted Protection against damage caused by: Weather induced fading, chalking or loss of gloss Acid rain, bird droppings Tree sap Insect damage Sun's UV damage hard Water Spots De-icing agens, ocean spray Industrial Fallout (brake dust & rail dust) Accidental Paint overspray Interior Fast food & beverage stains Bleaches & dyes Ultra violet rays, from the sun Fading & discoloration Cracking of the dash Inks Mold & mildew Chewing gum crayons lipstick, make-up Blood, urine, vomit Plus Rips & Tears up to 6" in length Punctures & Burns up to 1" in diameter I was even told that this protectorant will not effect the stripes. All this being said I was just wondering if anyone else had heard about this or actually done this. I am a little skeptical but the warranty is intriguing.

6-Speed Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 I never trust the stuff the dealer offers for protecting the exterior and interior. It's usually ineffective and WAY over-priced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had this done for my daughter's first car. It was worthless - definitely not worth the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Hoverson 36737 Posted November 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 Good to know. I prefer to do my own detailing, but I thought it would be best to ask what the rest of the members thought of this product. I figured someone most have used it at one time.

gsharapa Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Just a F&I Department Profit Generator!!! If you want to protect the car spend the money on a Ford ESP (Premium Care) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexandros Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 From my past experience...this is a waste of money...all they do is seal the entire car and detail it to the bone...If you have patience you could do it for 100.00 or less...
