No, no and thrice no. Essentially it is their high margin upsell so unless maximum convenience is your prime concern, avoid it like the plague. @Teckno from Melbourne had a "new car paint protection" done by an accredited professional detailer and the results were simply stunning! I would go even further and get the dealer to transfer or have the car collected straight off the transporter still in its transport wax and plastic panel protection to your detailer prior to your official collection. This is a service arranged by many dealers of high end marques here in the UK. Under no circumstance should you allow the apprentice workshop monkey anywhere near your virgin paint if you value the quality of the finish.

MyMerc, Congratulations for you new car. Thanks too toToobad for positive comments.
I’ll try and get you David’s new number in Melbourne, his circle of friends in the industry I am guessing he has a contact up your way.
As Toobad said, get the free tint, ask for a cut off from roll installed together with name and batch details so you can match later if something happens. With off cut you stand a chance.
We have had glass, outside, duco, interior carpet, trim and seats treated as well as tyres and rims. Rim treatment is essential, soo much easier to keep brake dust off, no marking or acid etching.
You will never go through a car wash again and you will learn to wash in a very particular way, once you stick with it, it is very fast and no swirls.
Never use the free coffee wash where 20 individuals swarm over your car to clean, wash and dry.
In an emergency, use self wash high pressure hose depots, just select high rinse, $3 later 90% crud and bird dropping gone, freeway at 80 to 100kph drys it quickly.
Never allow dealer on servicing to wash or dry your car, vacumn is ok.
Enjoy

Thanks Teckno i will see if they can help
Applied correctly, a high-quality paint protection product adds a very long-lasting protective “shell” to your car’s paintwork that repels dust, lessens grime, makes washing easier, doubly effective, and completely eliminates the need for polishing. Therefore, if the right product is applied correctly, paint protection really works. I believe it's best to arrange car paint protection by yourself, as you can have paint protection applied professionally by a properly trained technician who specializes in nothing but car paint protection, just like I did when I needed to paint my house and I called guys from Painters Dublin I Painting & Decorating Contractors Dublin to help me out with this, and they did a great job.
