Should we buy Autoglym Lifeshine cover with our new Volkswagen Tiguan?

We have just agreed to buy a new Volkswagen Tiguan and have been offered Autoglym Lifeshine at an additional £249. Do you feel that this would be a good investment, bearing in mind that we live by the sea?

That's a fair price, it is one of the best treatments, and it is guaranteed. But Autoglym High Definition Wax is 'only' £45 a tub and that lasts about 6 months per application. A tub should be good for two years. And July had the right sort of weather to apply it.
