I put a down payment on a new FLSTC at Old Glory HD this week, and when I called to schedule settlement, the lady in the business office tried to sell me paint protection coating for $499 (along with some other extra-cost bells and whistles). I said no, but it's not too late to change the call on that. Does anybody here have an informed opinion about this?

 

Is this a treatment they apply or a 3M sort of film protection?

 

Pass.

 

500 bones?! That is hilarious. You can get a new paint job for that kind of money.

I know the 3m stuff is okay but I'd rather touch up the occasional rock chip than cover my bike in what is essentially tape.

 

Total rip. Keep it clean and keep a good quality wax on it and it will look great forever.

 

I'll wax it for you for $399. Just think, I just save you $100. And I know how to do it. Rub on one way and rub off the other. And for that other $100, I know a lady who will do your bells and whistle twice.

 

The "paint protector" is a wax application. Total dealer profit BS.

 

All F&I stuff are a rip... stay away!

 

Paint protection coating aka wax.

They will charge you $499 for a service gopher earning $8/hr to spend 20 minutes applying wax. RIPSAW is definitely a better deal.

Save your money.

 

Thanks for outing Old Glory HD for this ripoff, maybe they will read the thread and reconsider offering it.
