Petes 16V Sport Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 Now then...Is Autoglym Lifeshine protection - £295, which is basically a set of protectants for bodywork, glasswork, and interior applied befor you pick up a new car, worth it?Presume the car is well looked after/cleaned and waxed regularly.Discuss... Because i'm not so sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon5 Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 Imo, no. Its just some really hardwearing wax i think. Interior may be worth it though, A mate had it in his Fez ST, and if you spilt something, it would just sit on to p of the fabric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unheard Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 I would say yes, if a car is protected really well its much less work to keep it cleaned as the dirt will not cling in the same way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 If you cant be bothered to wax your car a couple of times a year then it is.If you dont mind, then Id say no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_273 Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 I think if you know how to look after a car then you would be better off doing it yourself.You could get a Scotchgard aerosol for the interior, then just use some hard wearing was (such as Collinite) on the exterior.Do th dealers do it themselves or is it someone from Autoglym?

rooco Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 I bought my AG LifeShine through Ebay a few months ago for about £25 and did my wife's Passat. The polish lasted about 9 mths, the windscreen treatment lasted about 1 mth, but the interior protection is quite good particulary with biege interior and two under 3yr old's. As Jon_273 mentioned, I'd go the Collinite and Scotchguard route, as I did last week with my Loop.

Petes 16V Sport Posted August 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 I'm glad people agree with me. Nice little money spinner for the stealers.The dealers actually apply it, so theres no guarantee of how well it has been applied and it comes with a 10 year warranty... How you would prove your car is less shiny is beyond me though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
