3 letters for the gimmick.

All you really need is to wax/leather conditioner your car <u>at least</u> every 3 months.

oh well. If it's a joke so what, you're under warranty so if your leather cracks within like 5 years they'll fix it or replace it. Doesn't sound bad to me

I'd get the paint protection. I got one for my '97 Integ, never been waxed for 3+ years (and is parked outdoors all day and night) and it still looks good. Of course, you can probably get the same protection from over-the-counter waxes and general maintenance.

I'd stay away from so called, "interior protection" because it's anything but... Go to Kragen and check out the discount bin rather than pay for it at the dealer.

If you paid for the paint and leather protector then you got RIPPED OFF!

My neghibor bought the perma plate system for his Honda and I can tell you my car looks shiner then his! I been using Zymol for $15 and it works just fine. Ordinary over the counter wax at you local part shop can protect just as well. Just avoid the $3-$5 turtle wax or not brand name crap.

Plus the leather protectant is nothing more then armorall. Get some armorall for your interior's vinyl and the leather care for leather. Doesn't cost more then $5-$6

The fabric protectant, you can pick up a bottle of 3M upholstory proectant for $5-$6 at your local part store. Same stuff as the dealership with dupont repellent.
