supaguard - worth it?

[R20 CWH]

been offered it on the new clio.

deal includes all paint, glass and interior £220.

anyone had it? comments?

 

[Bluebeard]

you can buy it off Ebay for £5...

Make your own mind up.

 

[rich172cup]

it is good stuff but when you can buy it yourself and put on yourself why pay the dealer

 

[Shindig]

I was also asked this morning if I would like this paint protector on my R27. £199 was the price

 

[experi-mental 182]

Dealer only wants you to have it done so the car is traded in back to them in excellent condition in a few years time!

£100 bonus for the car salesman.

 

[matt182]

I had it on mine on mine from new its not what they make it out to be cost £250 when i had mine done still polish it though it might of helped but who knows i was told no need to polish it for 3 year YEAH RIGHT that's b****cks

only if!

Vardys ( evan hallshal) give the sames men £50 if they sell it as i had a job interview there a few years back.

The lad round the corner works for Oatys Nissan he says it s**t too and worth off just buying a good wax LOL

 

[Brand86]

In short: NOOOO!

Worked in a dealership and I know what a ridiculous margin they make on it, which you wouldn't mind so much if it was actually that good. It doesn't last as long as they claim and doesn't look all that either.

Head over to the detailing forum for some recommendations mate if you are up for imrpoving the look of your car or just protection - many better (and cheaper) alternatives.

Same goes for Diamond Brite. Some people rave about Perma Guard but no experience of that myself.

For £200 you can get a machine polish to remove all paint defects, a decent sealant and wax which will look better and form a good base for you to keep your car looking good.

i had it done to my clio when i bought it, was £50 cause i told the dealer rather quickly to f**k off when he said £200.

 

[Russ_16v]

i buy it in @ work for 54 quid a set,so yeah there is a large margin in it but i dont think its too bad

 

[Rich]

Just say no! Autoglym Super Resin and Extra Gloss Protection - £15 quid ish!

 

[julzh]

have it on mine, if it's applied well and you can't spend a lot of time cleaning your car it's ok and it will save you a lot of elbow grease but it will not last 3 years, mine has been on for about 20 months and i think it's coming to the end of it's life. I will soon be taking mine for a "proper" detail and asking lots of daft questions on here.

 

[Jay_clio]

Not worth it, mum had it on her new corsa, (red) bonnet and roof has faided and they are refusing to do it again.. not worth it imo, just do it yourself..

 

[Lee-182]

Im happy with mine, so easy to clean and always left with a nice shine after washing it and even better after a good wax.

Superguard and collenite

 

[edde]

Do it yourself.

that was in the good days before Vardy's were overtaken by Evans Halshaw .... you certainly don't get £50 for it now !

Anyways .... i would use this as a bargaining tool & ask them to throw it in for free to get a deal IMO ... but certainly don't pay for it !

 

[Brand86]

The fact that you say Superguard and Collinites soeaks volumes... they claim it is an all in one system...

[Eddieb]

For that sort of money i'd be buying myself this

 

[Ollie82.]

If you insist on spending that kind of money on a "lifetime" paintwork protection then ignore Supagaurd, most definitely ignore Diamondbrite and look into Autoglym Lifeshine.

But at the end of the day, as Rich said, just stick to decent polishing and sealants and you'll be better off.

 

[R20 CWH]

ok fine thats it settled as i have loads of chemical guys stuff and will just utilise that next weekend me thinks as its for my new chariot

 

[Rich]

Not found a Chemical Guys Sealant that lasts as long as Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection or Klasse SG. They get my vote if your looking for long term protection.

 

[197ant]

I had it done, I wouldn't have it done again and especially not at Renault prices.

 

[benji&eka]

when me and eka bought her clio they offered it to us for £199. i offered to sell him the exact save stuff in the same bag for £35 he went a bit pink!

noted.

ill invest in that

 

[Brand86]

AG EGP is good, but just find it takes too long to layer up if you don't have a garage, risk of it raining etc. For me the Jeffs is ideal - great durability, high gloss and quick to get a few layers on, I only leave it to cure for bout 10 minutes or so on each panel.

 

[shellzRT]

its like any thing really if you dont know what your doing with something your going to pay someone else who does. Supaguard is good stuff and definatly does the job, I work as a valeter at a car dealership and use it bout 3 times a week of new cars. It takes a bit of time to apply but the results are good, both cars ive owed ive supaguarded my self and am well impressed with the finish. Ppl are right you can get it off ebay for cheap and do it your self but it wont be as good unless your confident with doing it and taking your time. but anyways thts my advice to ya lol

[Inodaz]

we used to use superguard at our dealership but it were crap, so we use guard X now, which is pretty good.
