If the dealers do it (or say they've done it) no, but if the car is prepared and sealant applied properly by a detailer then yes.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

As Dubber says, if it's done right you'll be really happy. Personally I would be asking the dealer if you can arrange a detailer to prep the car so it's done properly. £150 should cover it. Challenge might be them allowing them to do it for 'insurance' reasons.

??? Dubber suggested that diamondbrite was good if applied correctly, I reinforced it.

No tangent there? Perhaps you bringing up autobrite was the tangent?

Diamondbrite is a product normally offered by a supplying dealer ergo an opinion on the application was offered. Do it right it's great, get it wrong it has no effect, for the same money hire a pro.

I really don't see what point you are trying to make Matty.

Often people ask what is the best wax to use, but someone could take advice on what to buy then apply it with a butter knife and buff it off with a brillo pad. Despite the quality of the product, that sort of application may not give the best results.

The OP asked if Diamondbrite was worth the money, we said that it was, providing it was applied correctly.
