Is it worth it. I was told by a formed Ford salesman it was not worth the cost.I've been quoted $695.00 for the paint protection with "free" interior treatment thrown in.what do you all think?

Guest DZ. Guests Posted 14/02/03 05:39 AM Share Posted 14/02/03 05:39 AM I've never been a believer in the whole paint protection thing. Had it done once, cost an arm and a leg, and didn't protect a damn thing when the car was exposed to red dirt in the NT only a year later. And as others have pointed out, watch out for blemishes after the glazing is applied.I'll just stick to the polishing method. :D Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/932-glazing-paint-protection/#findComment-9825 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Data dots are for insurance companies and police to identify your car after its stolen and disassembled/rebirthed by which time you wont want it back anyway.....IMO It wont make your car more secure. Spend the $500 odd on an alarm. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/932-glazing-paint-protection/#findComment-9915 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have datadots on your car, and your car is stolen and not recovered you will get $5000 plus $2200 for insurance claims and stuff.If your car is stolen and is recovered you will get $600 from datadots.There are around 10,000 data dots sprayed all around the car, I don't think you can find them all. But if you do I think they shouldnt be too hard to remove.IMO it is a good deal and I will be going with the dots.
