DanGull Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 General advice on here when I asked the same question was con, for the following reasons... 1. You have no idea who has applied it at the dealership, and applying it badly makes it a complete waste of time 2. You can achieve the same protection and a better look/finish with a decent hard wax 3. It doesn't stay on the car very long, especially if you're claying/polishing etc 4. The aftercare kit is expensive and most importantly for me, is that you can buy the whole kit for just over a tenner on eBay!

gestev Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 I would agree with Dan, I bought my car 5 years ago and had the Diamondbrite treatment applied for a 'reduced dealer special offer' of #100 and was given the after care kit for monthly shampoos..... this only lasted about half a dozen washes! My advise would be either to follow Dan's recommendations, or if you must go the Diamondbrite route, give the eBay choice a try for only #20.

Martyn Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 heya, ive got it on mine, ive got the full kit, the massive green bag that comes with it, it includes everything you need to clean the car... i made them give it to me "free" with the price of the car, but personally i would not pay more than £100 for the full kit i have, it has first aid kit, notepad/pen plus shampoos, window stuff, tyre shine, etc...(that kit) - not sure which it is, but its the dearest i think they quoted £400. cant say its made the car any cleaner nor has it made it easier to clean, ive had supagard in the passed and that was a waste of money IMO. didnt get any shampoos or anything. Hope it helps, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbyzetecs269 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 personally i would not get diamondbrite! the fact that my dad owns one of their rival companies Permashine, i know a bit what goes on behind the scenes. and how much money they make out of you!!! not good. However i do swear by paint protection, just not diamond brite lol! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However i do swear by paint protection, just not diamond brite lol! :) I am not a fan of any of these "protections" as I am not sure exactly what they do. However, I must say that my last car (Astra twintop) was supagarded by the supplying dealer (Archie Moss) and I have to say that subsequent washing of the car was dead easy.....wash and leather off....job done. I personally enjoy washing / waxing my car so I wouldn't have it done through choice but that's just it......personal choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
