Seal And Protect Advice

hi folks - some will have seen from my earlier posts that i'm picking up my new E92 next week, the dealer tried to sting me for another £399 for seal and protect which I knocked back but having read plenty of good reviews on the actual product I bought a kit on ebay for £19. I know i could do this myself but does anyone know of any BMW valeters or other pro's who could apply the hardwax, leather and carpet treatments for a decent price (Stockport/Greater M/cr area). i've heard the stuff can be a bugger to get off and so dont want to mess it up with the car being new.

cheers

paul

    could also use auto glyn resin polish, then extra gloss protection polish, also they do a alloy wheel sealer. all good products and would cost about £40 top whack.

    Finally got round to applying the NME carpet and leather seal n protect stuff, took me 30mins to do the interior, gonna wait for a decent day now to apply the exterior hardwax which will also prob take less than an hr to do including the wheels once the car has been washed and dryed, plus the sense of achievement of having done it myself and not paid the dealer a ridiculous 400 quid for the task
