Spent 6 hours on this site today, just to get background info. I have ordered a white 2011 Camaro and will be driving it during Canada winters. I ask myself should I spend extra for clear protective film on body panels. Personally I will not as it should not be necessary. Will I pay extra for dealer applied Simoniz Glasscoat? Doubt it unless dealer can assure me this "applied" treatment will reduce paint chips, puts that in writing. Doubt this dealer applied product is long term benfical or it would have been applied at the factory. Is this expensive applied Simoniz Glasscoat any better, or longer lasting then a good coat of wax that will be applied by my auto detailer each year?
I am concerned about the paint chip issues. Started driving in the 1960s, bought the first of many new GM autos starting in 1970, never have experienced paint chip issues like so many that have posted on this site. Also bought Chrysler products and never experienced paint chip issues like the ones described on this site.
Will I accept poor quality paint that chips easily. Not a chance in hell.
