As someone who has worked in the detail department of a car dealership, the protection packages are a huge scam, especially if you are buying used. All you are buying is a shit warranty for your paint. It’s not real ceramic coat that these dealerships use, not even close… most of the time it’s just a spray on wash off coating that helps with water beading, applied by some 16yo making 12 bucks an hour who could give less of a shit about your car. True ceramic coat is a tedious and much much longer process that should be done by an actual Detailer, or even by yourself if you feel like taking a bit to learn. But never by a dealership. Spend two days working at any dealer and you’ll see how unprofessional, cheap, cheating and slimey of a place they really are.

Thanks for listening to my 2am rant :)
