7 year journey comes to an end

Congrats!

I look at it this way. If I want it and it’s in my budget, I’m not worried about how much I paid, I’ll pay what it’s worth to me. And I definitely don’t get all stressed out wondering how much money a business made on the product. Business is in business to make money and more power to them.

Just finished detailing with CERAKOTE ($17). The ResistAll was definitely not applied nor any clear paint protection film. There was zero water beading after washing. I never seen a new paint not to bead water. There was tons of glue left behind from the factory shipping protection film.

So a little puzzled of why the ResistAll decal was applied to the driver side window.

the only dealer add-ons appear to be wheel locks & window tint (doors only) maybe ~$100 at the most.

it looks like resistall may have been applied after all. I was looking through the dealership paperwork and found a 5 year resistall warranty for the interior and exterior..

to my surprise sealants like resistall may not bead water. Nothing special about resistall - it’s just another cheap sealant with a warranty.

I’m surprised to learn the application process. assuming the paint is free of contaminates, the process is wash & rinse the car and with the car still wet spray the resistall sealant on the entire vehicle, rinse & dry. Then hand buff. That‘s a 30min job requiring zero skill to apply. Dealerships must be making a killing.

So for my car the idiot (probably the high school kid that washes the cars) did not remove all the adhesive from the shipping protection film before applying the resistall. Can not see it unless you look for it.
