Is that the 3M thin film they put on the face of the car to prevent stone chips???

I doubt Ken is referring to a clear bra. The dealer is trying to sell him a paint sealer product. Ken, I would simply use a premium quality wax on the paint and save yourself a bunch of money.

I agree with Mikeo. Be weary of dealer offered options

Ouch! £300??? Buy a can of Pinnacle Souveran for £40, one of the highest regarded waxes on the planet and a little elbow grease, and you've saved your self a small fortune, have an incredible shine/protection, plus got to know the car a bit better. :smile:
