I just bought a 2011 Outback Wagon. I am trying to decide whether to get the Simoniz GlassCoat paint, carpet, fabric & leather protection plan. Are these necessary, and do they protect the car? Thanks, Charlie

All the above advice, except yours, is excellent. Modern paints are quite durable, I don’t see any evidence to the contrary. We’re not saying it’s worthless, just worth no more than any wax job you can get. $600 is OUTRAGEOUS. We will eagerly await links to any independent tests that support you…

Whether it is worth $600 is a value judgement. The product does work, it is NOT a wax but a permanent glass resin. It leaves a beautiful shine, which does not wear off, and is unaffected by some of the bigger offenders such as bird droppings. Comparison to a typical wax job is just silly.

More assertions, the same as those made for all the dozens of ‘amazing finishes’ that have come before. “permanent glass resin”? Really? Please back that up. Also, the fact that it’s being pushed at new car closing time, the same time that all vastly overpriced items are pushed, automatically des…

Save your time and money and just contribute directly to the Dealer’s retirement fund.

Do you have children of junior high age or older? If so, put them to work with a can of paste wax from WalMart that you can purchase for under $5. It will be as good if not better than what the dealer wants to sell you. When I was in 8th grade in 1954, my dad bought a 1947 DeSoto coupe. The maro…

I remember one poster on here saying that they had either the wax, or the window treatment done and kept having to go back and have it reapplied. After like 3~5 times coming back, they just refunded his money

Am I the only one who remembers [b]Polyglycoat[/b]? Back in the…'80s?..'90s?..this was a standard last-minute push from dealers in order to “protect your paint” from…bird droppings?..industrial waste?..space aliens? And, yet, just like other types of dealer hype, that scam was long ago consigned t…

Glasscoat is a great, long lasting product that will not simply wear away after a few washes. In fact you would have to wet sand the glasscoat to remove it. The 7 year warranty on the product is well woth it, if you are not over paying. In my opinion, you should not have to pay more then $500.00 f…

I can’t say he is wrong as I have not tried the stuff, nor have I seen any evaluations from someone I know and trust. As far as I can see this is rfg021099’s only post here. Please if I am wrong, let me know and I will edit this message.

I checked out the guarantee: 7 years on new cars. Car finishes almost NEVER fail within the first 7 years. So what the guarantee means is that if it’s no longer shiney, they’ll probably just reapply it. So now you got two wax jobs for $250-$300 each. Still not worth it.
