We get many enquiries every day with customers asking us how Ceramic Pro performs against the dealership paint protection they have been offered at an exorbitant price. The only real advice we can give is research the brand and reviews on the product they are trying to sell you, we can’t comment on their products specifically as we don’t use them. However, what we can say is some of these paint protection products sold by dealerships are extremely overpriced, and relabeled and marketed towards dealerships only.

They are also not “endorsed” by the manufacturer, one dealership will sell a different paint protection brand to the next dealership even though it’s the same car brand. There are lot of sales tactics used to meet quotas when it comes to selling aftermarket accessories within dealerships, this is where they make their profit!

Yes it may be easier to package your aftermarket accessories such as paint protection and [...]
