    Dealer paint protection

    Holden Holden Advice
    I paid almost $2000 for paint protection on my Holden and was wondering how you can say it doesn't work. I've only had the car for a few months, but at any time I was unsatisfied I was told they would sort it out. Are you saying the protective coat will wear off over time? Have you had experience with Holden's paint protection?

    Holden doesn't actually sell paint protection for its cars; it's the dealer who has sold the product to you. Dealers are renowned for up-selling clients into products they don't need with the aim of making more money out of the deal, and paint protection is one of those products. The product you have bought could one of many on the market, but one thing for sure is that it's not a Holden product or even a Holden recommended product. Typically the paint protection product is a wax product and washes off over time. Holden's paint stands up fine, particularly if it's looked after by being washed regularly in fresh water, with no detergent, and also waxed every few months.
