Dealer Paint Sealer is it worth it ?

Before i receive my G in the next week or two.. I was curious as to what you all think of Dealer installed paint sealers. They are pricey but is it worth it?

Thanks.

No. I use the following with amazing results

Meguiar's Show Car Glaze
Maguiar's Hi-Tech Yellow Wax

The glaze makes black paint look wet and feel like gelly. It's amazing.

Absolutely NOT!! I sold those paint sealant packages all day long when I sold Hondas in college. They are nothing more than a normal wax. It honestly cost nothing to the deal and they charge a ridiculous amount for it.

Don't get the paint sealant. Paint Sealants have come a long way since they were introduced to the PUBLIC. They are now easier to apply and the products available are just as good if not better than the dealership. Save the $150 or so bucks and do it yourself or $35 bucks and labor.
