The etching is terrible and they never even suggested it to me. Had they, I'd have laughed out loud at them and walked out of there before they could blink. The thing with the rust and paint protection is, and I agree fotze it is cheaper aftermarket, but warranty and re-application are important here.
You guys can correct me if I'm wrong here, and please feel free to do so, but there's no warranty if I do it aftermarket. Also, where in the city can you pay to have the paint and rust protection and for the life of it, you can take it back and have it re-done for free? It certainly didn't work that way back home where every two years I had to pay over $100 to get the undercoating.
Part of the deal is I can get vinyl/leather and fabric protection as well, for an additional cost. To me, that's the one that sounded like the sham. I can take care of the inside of a car with ease as I've been doing it since I got my first car. I'm not paying for that, although the other two I feel I should. I suppose I could do the paint protection myself too, if I had the right set-up where I could wash it every week or two and wax it every 3 weeks or so. But, I don't have that set-up as I'm limited for space and whatnot.
Also, being that the car comes with three seperate warranties, one of which is a 10-year powertrain, it's for certain I will be dealing with Platinum for the lifespan of the time I have the vehicle, which I expect to be 5 or 6 years unless a major accident occurs. Knowing that I'll be with them for that long, why would I instantly take it somewhere else to have work done? To me that adds up but if you guys want to convince me otherwise, I'd genuinely love to hear the reasons behind it.
