Hello All,

Does anyone know anything about protective coatings for the exterior paintwork? Do they really keep your paintwork cleaner for longer? I didnt take the option that my dealer suggested but am now thinking that it might have been a good idea. TDV6 HSE 07MY

Diamondbrite is pretty good, buy some off ebay and do it yourself, will cost you about £10
Don't forget any car these days will still look shiny after a few years but don't expect these sealants to still be doing a great beading job by then.

Halfords also sell the 3M clear polycarbonate film kits that you stick over the areas vulnerable to stone chips. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
