Hi: I've just signed up to buy a 1.5-year-old Toyota Corolla. The dealer is offering Dura-Seal paint protection for $595. Someone asked you about this a while ago, but my situation is different. I live very close to the sea on the west coast, and my car is in a carport, with 2 open sides. I'm not into frequently waxing cars! And my previous car (and most cars out here) had rust problems. Do you recommend this product for me, or is it a waste of money?

Hi there,
It would keep the exterior paint in good condition. However it would not protect the under-side componants against corrosion ect.
I havn't heard how long the coating actually lasts.
