BMW Seal & Protect
When I order my F10, I've ordered the BMW Seal & Protect kit for £250 from the dealer. Also I asked if they can do the first apply before I collect the car.
They said they have done the first application and the remainder of the kit is left in the boot and I was told that the leather work is all done. It comes in a handy carry bag with several cleaning/protection products. Interior is Beige so needs good care to protect it. Having thought they did the application in leather and upholstry I waas trying to do some cleaning after nearly 2 months of running (1,000 miles). When I tried to clean some small shoe marks on the seats and doors, they seems didn't go off so easily. Having had the Seal & Protect applied I wished these markes go so easily. I have opened the kit since and having second thoughts. It appeared there are no leather protection solvents in the kit. Either they have applied all of them or there weren't any in the pack. What I now have (remainder) in the kit are as follows (from memory): - Tyre Dressing - Car Shampoo - Drying Cloth - 2 Sponges - Bumber Wax - Windscreen wash concentrate without antifreeze, 50 ml - Impregnating agent for upholstery and carpets, 200 ml - Plastic care emulsion, 200 ml - Wheel rim cleaner, set (I will check the bag and update if I have missed any) I know it could be late to go back to the dealer and ask what they have done exactly. Now the questions: 1. Has anyone got this S&P bought and applied in your car? 2. Did you get the Leather Protection applications in the kit? 3. How do you know whether the S&P is applied in the car? Any advise, warmly welcome !

Popular consensus appears to be very much against BMW seal and protect, especially considering the price.
I thoroughly washed my new F10 and applied two coats of Werkstat Acrylic Jett, took the wheels off and did likewise with Poorboys sealant and the car looks great for around £25. I see you're in Scotland; if you live anywhere near Aberdeenshire go and have a chat with these guys: http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/ |

When I ordered my F11 the dealer initially insisted that I must have the Seal and Protect in order to achieve the discount I wanted on the rest of the car and accessories. There was also a possibility that the car was going to be delivered in the new year, which would have cost the dealer an extra £1000 in the UK VAT increase - something I wasn't going to be liable for.
It looks like its a nice little earner for the dealership and a complete rip-off for the consumer. Needless to say, its since been taken off my order. |
