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

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.

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.

$500 spread out over 7 years is roughly $72. I can buy a lot of car washes for $72 a year

Wow, nine years after this subject thread was dead, behold another snake oil…er, Simoniz…salesman pops up from a car dealer showroom to extol buying a glass wax warranty! Will wonders never cease?

I believe old threads pop up because someone googled the subject. My dealer offers mop and glo but not to me. They apply it to all new vehicles. If you pay, you get the warranty, if not you get the initial coat. This is just another aftermarket warranty. The fine print often requires annual inspect…

Sorry, rfg sounds like either a saleman or a user justifying their purchase. Their statements regarding paint are pure nonsense. The paints are now water-based for application, but they cure to be equal to (if not better than) old formulations. This is just another in a decades - old tradition of dealers wanting to make big money at closing time.
