[Yellow Fever]

I Got my windows tinted today and the installer was pushing me hard on getting a TEFLON treatment done to my car..It's not cheap at $300 but apparently it last 5+ Years ??

They had a car in the parking lot that was treated over a year ago with Teflon and it looked like a new ..Is Teflon really that much better than a good coat of wax every 3-4 months ?

Any Pro's ? Con's ? vs waxing .


:cheers:

Usually a good mark up on car that has had it done at the dealer. A local one has 3 SRT-4's with that treatment. Of course it also has that additional dealer markup sticker attached to the price of $750 smackolas.

I owned a large detail shop for six years, Adding Teflon to wax does make it better. Is it worth $300, DEFINITELY NOT. When we did a Teflon treatment to a car, all we did was mix Teflon int the wax. Application requires no extra man hours. Added cost of material, about $2. Shop around, you'll find someone willing to do the treatment for $20 added to the charge of a regular wax (about $40).
