Hi everybody,

Has anyone of you guys ordered paintwork protection on your V40?
The dealer I ordered mine from offered G-3 Glasscoat (it includes paint, upholstery and glass treatment + aftersale maintenance products) for £399. What are your views on this kind of products. Have you ever had it? Do you think it is worth the money? I can not make up my mind!!!
All replies welcome.

Asked volvo norway about this, got this response:

Thank you for your inquiry.
A Volvo is basically good enough treated to prevent corrosion, so that such a treatment may not be necessary.
Normal maintenance of Volvo washing / cleaning products and during washing should be sufficient to prevent corrosion or damage to the paint.
About a paint sealant upgrade or Tectyl treatment performed on the car and this is the cause in any paint or rust damage in the future, the warranty does not apply.

I got a Protech treatment on my New V40..
Also had it on my previous C30 and very happy with it.

Only thing to do is spray it of with high pressure water..
No waxing needed..

5 year warranty that paint will keep shining.

Hi,
I believe those products work (some are better some worse). I am just having hard times justifying the £399 cost. I am in two minds at the moment. Still have time to decide - it's another 7-8 weeks before the car is delivered.
Thanks for your reply though.

Hi Raf

I got the Supagard protection from my dealer, he originally quoted £350, then £250 and finally i got the price down to £225.

I too hope it was money well spent, with 3year protection and a satchel of products to use in the future.
