Do you mean like a sealant, - Supaguard, diamond brite, lifeguard, Eurochem etc.

If so, If you like a deep polish and shine dont do it
If you like to maintain your car regularly and enjoy detailing dont do it.

if you cant be arsed to clean her to often or just want to be quick, wash off and dry then get it.

Doesnt really effect the shade of colour. You wouldnt notice

Just make sure, I mean really make sure, that the company knows what they are doing and has the right sort of premises to apply the system properly if not dont waste your money or do it yourself get the kit for about fifty quid.

The sellers of these products claim that that these coatings last for up to 5 years and that no waxing is necessary during this period which is sheer nonsense. Over here in the states, Diamond Brite costs about $500 for the initial application. That money is better spent on something else like running boards or wheels or angel eyes.
