Super Polyshield

Any experience pro/con with purchasing the Super Polyshield Exterior and Interior Protection Package offered by MINI Dealers?

Save your money and wax it yourself. Dealer applied coatings are usually way overpriced.

Ditto - for less you can get a nice detailing kit including synthetic wax which will last 4 - 6 months. Check out www.detailersparadise.com

I have the kit from DP along with Banana Gloss. I was told the three layers of polymer will enhance any personal detailing to really give a glass-like finish.

It's just a layer of synthetic wax that they're selling you at a 1500% mark-up. You can put a couple of coats of Epic on for a dollar's cost and get the same effect and protection.

It's a nice add-on sale for the dealer and not much more.
