    Exterior Paint Sealant from Dealer on 230RL - Worh It?

    Dealer is offering the exterior paint sealant that supposedly lasts five years and reduces the need to wax the camper.
    Anyone have experience with this? Is it worth the money? Are there alternatives?
    Thanks.

    No experience with this, but I always say no to dealer addons.

    Yup I would say no also. They will try to sell you anything.

    If the dealer is doing it, I'd say no. If a detail or professional shop is doing it AND the price is right, I might do it.

    Our dealer offered Ceramic Coating by a local (well regarded) professional shop. The dealer price was $2,440. I negotiated this service as part of the deal for $1,000. The surface always feels like it was just waxed. Still need to wash it...

    Just understand it is probably just a spray on coating that won't last anytime. There is no miracle coating except maybe a true ceramic coating which may come close but I doubt this is what they are offering you. What you are getting for your money is the warranty. Read and understand the warranty and what it covers and decide if it is worth it to you.

    I think the front cap paint job has a 5 year guarantee.. seems like I saw that as a standard option on one of the youtube videos.
    Of course, sun is a killer.

    Looked it up; exterior graphics has 5 year guarantee

    So the Dealership uses ResistAll exterior paint protection.

    Anyone use this product? If so, would you recommend it?

    Thanks.

    I have read that the graphics warranty is for replacement decals only. Not the cost of removal of the old or installation of the new ones.

    Does that extend to the original purchaser only? I need a new momentum logo but I am the 2nd owner
