Should I get this paint protection?
Have ordered a new Ford Focus Estate through Drive The Deal. It is being a factory built and expect delivery to be late March/ early April. The Ford Dealer (Hartwells of Grimsby) supplying the car has asked me if I want the exterior paintwork and interior fabric treated with Fortron Shield.
He has provided a brochure which explains the product and process. I understand that Fortron Shield is a trusted name in Automotive protection. The cost quoted is £150. As I have never come across this product before I was wandering whether or not you feel it is worth having done?. The car colour is (Solid) Race Red.

I don't know it, but £150 is a reasonable price for paint protection. Solid red needs protecting, even though it will already be covered with clearcoat lacquer.
Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.
