HELP! Do I need "Sureguard"?

[RobinPJ]

Just about to pick up a new 500 in BNW with ivory ambiance and the grey checkered cloth interior. The question is do I need to pay what is quite a lot for the car's interior (and exterior) to be protected by what I think is called Sureguard?

When I tell you I have 2 kids, one of whom is a 7 year old boy, plus a dog, I think you will all say "YES OF COURSE YOU DO YOU IDIOT", but does it really work?

I'd be grateful for all experiences and opinions.

do a search of supagard or supaguard lots of previous discussion

consensus is that it is ok but you can get better products at lower price

Ah sorry, I did search before posting but got the name wrong, so no results. Apologies.

The interior stuff is very good but it's noway justified by the price from the dealer.

I guess you could weigh up the cost of the Supagard against having the seats shampooed a couple of times a year.

This thread from Andy Monty shows what can be done with filthy seats!

We bought it on our C as we have kids (that are very clumsy) and it covers the hood inside and out too. Yes it is expensive but it does guarantee that if you cant get a stain out they will fix it for you. The inner lining of the hood got dirty the other day just because of dust. I cant see that it will come out easily but I would like to think that the dealer will sort if I cant

you can get cans of the interior stuff off flea bay and the like for about £10 for 4 cans just be ware that you will want a half mask cartridge respirator to En166 A1 P2 muinimum because of the fumes

Get it and do it yourself if you're concerned, it's far cheaper. I got the interior stuff for a fiver and it's stupidly easy to apply.

All of these 'Lacrose' paint and fabric protectors are good. They work really well.

BUT the biggest complaint for it not working was a **** poor original application by the valetor. Not worth the £200+ cost, especially as it costs less than £60 for the dealer etc...!

I would get some and apply it myself. Then I would know it had been applied with nothing skipped.

I've seen a valetor 'apply' a full SupaGard in about 15mins. How is that supposed to have had the curing time huh?
