Question Supagard

Ha s anyone ever used Supagard? Is it worth doing? I have been offered it on my new scoob for £199. Or are there any other simular products out there that are better to protect the paint.

Thanks.

I went for the Supagaurd (supagard?) treatment on my car. I have to say, I wouldnt bother again. It didnt seem to last much longer than a few washes. I use Swissoil on it now.

Don't waste your money. I had it done on my first scoob and it wasn't that special.

Get a good valeter to do a complete swissoil job. Far better result.

Not worth it mate, these kits cost £20/£30 and thats enough to do lots of cars and the customer just pays a massive mark up for somthing thats not that usefull.If you hand wash your car weekly/fortnightly and leather it off afterwards then you paintwork will stay in good condition.£200 buys enough Swissol to last a couple of years and they are the best products Ive used.

My dad just asked me the same thing. He's buying the old dear a brand new Honda Jazz, and the dealership have offered him a complete SupGard treatment for £395!! He asked me whether it's worth it. To me it's not (as i love polishing and waxing my car), but said i'd check it out for him.

All my questions answered I think.

Cheers

it's not just polish in the kits we sell you get the window etching stuff and some stuff you spray on to the interior and it protects it like a scotchguard against spills and stains

Both the kits can be bought for between £20-£50, just check Ebay.

A good polish every 3mths will do a much better job on the paintwork.

I bought a car 2 weeks ago thats just over 2yrs old, has 10k on the clock and was SupaGuarded from new, the previous owner believed the hype unfortunately as it took me a few hours to get the showroom finish back this afternoon.

To sum up for a reasonable amount, say £100 I would say go for it. £395 is daylight robbery.
