Should I get paint protection on my new car?
I'm buying a new Mazda through a local dealer. They've offered their Paint and Interior Protection package for £300. The car I've picked has leather rather than fabric seats, so I won't get much value out of the interior protection. Can I buy a similar paint protection that I can DIY or find a local technician to apply it? Or how much should I be willing to pay the dealership for this item?

We rarely suggest buying these paint protection packages. Now, it's definitely worth getting done - but I'd get the same service done at a reputable, local detailer. It's just commission for the dealership at the end of the day.

When I bought my used cars, the dealer tried to sell me three-year asset protection for £349, ceramic paint protection for £299 and an extended warranty. Surely these are commission scams.
