8th generation 2007 Civic - Is paint protection really important?

**huas111** · 22-07-2007 04:55 PM

Hi guys, I just ordered my Civic Vti and I am still wondering I should get paint protection for myCivic which costs me $510 bucks. Does anyone got the paint protection? how much did you guys pay? Thanks!

Not worth it. Go to autobarn and buy protection products there totalling to about $100 which will last for years

Thanks for your advice. I am really new to car and this is my first car. Could you recommand some protection products (which brand) for the car? Thank you.

I use everything meguiars except for leather protection which does not apply to you. Get the Speed Detailer which is good for a quick crap removal. But dont use it to clean ur whole car. Theres a wax that comes in a tin container, cant remember the exact name but its by meguiars. Also the window cleaner, tyre gloss, terry towels, chamois, micro fibre cloths. Overall very good brand. But its up to you.

Thx Shimian. The big screen in your car looks very impressive !!! What is that?? Is that a GPS? How much is it ??
