Is Resistal worth it as a dealer add on?

[markdartj]

Just purchased a 2014 Pure Premium, and the dealer recommended Resistal treatment for interior and exterior. Is this worth the 12K+ spend, or should I pass on this as a needless way for dealers to make money?

ResistAll is a good product line, but not necessary. What the F&I chick is selling you is an insurance policy, not paint and interior protection. And like insurance, they are hoping you will lose track of your contract and never make a claim, as 90% of the people who fall for this ploy do. As a rule, avoid the stuff the F&I chick tries to add onto the deal, because the mark-up on these things is criminal. Take care of your car, keep it out of the weather, and you will not need any of these products.
