Auto Armor Paint Protection

[rchavez1]

When I purchased my 2003 4Runner Limited back in May, I had the dealer apply a product called "Auto Armor Paint Protector". It is the iniital application in what they call "Auto Armor Environmental Maintenance System".

I have a bottle of Auto Armor Paint Protection Cleaner / Renewer which the dealer gave to me to apply every 6 months. The question i have is what is it, what does it do, and does this take place of waxing. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Actually, this sounds just like a wax or a polish.

This is one of those items those in the car biz would call ADP -- Additional Dealer Profit -- it's not any better than a quality car polish/wax available at a parts store...

"Ever notice that the folks who complain about the price of a gallon of gasoline are the same one's who'll gladly pay about $3-4/gallon for bottled WATER?"

High-Priced Dealer Add-on. Not worth buying. No protectant/wax/polymer last more than 6 months to a year.

Cut your losses, just use the stuff according to the directions. I would use a clay bar first.

When it is gone get good quality polish and wax from the autoparts store.

I always clay bar before a polish and wax.


The dealer got you good. :xnuts:
