Protection packages for a new car

[YarisSedan]

The uv coating is just a cheap wax. Had a friend who worked at a dealer and he said it was just a sham. The price they charged varied from customer. Pretty much however much they think they could get you to pay. Only thing that might be worthwhile is the undercoating

The UV or paint protection should be more than "cheap wax". It needs to be a polymer sealant for me. Some thing that bonds to the surface. I used NXT 2.0 and was very unsatisfied for a few years. Spent 30$ on it and was looking for a better lasting product for the longest time. Try Menzerna Power Lock polymer sealant(no I don't work for them or own thew company lol). It is just amazing the difference from a cheap wax.

The funny thing is that I found the source of where the local car dealerships send their new cars for the protection packages. They told me a the dealership that they would give me a deal normally 299$ for each of the
1 paint protection
2 upholstery protection
3 rust proofing
4 undercoating

I could get it for the low price of $900. Essentially one of the parts for free.
I said no I would go directly to the place or do it myself. So they went down to $750 and then finally $700 before I told them they have to go down substantially to get me to sign on.

I could have gotten the price of $350 if I did all 4 packages directly with the detailer. I'll probably go and pay it next time. I ended up spending $220 doing the paint(myself) upholstery(myself) and undercoating(detailer). The detailer says the stuff he uses for seat protection is way stronger than the spray on Scotchguard and I believe him. Better to talk to the guy who does the dealership detailing directly and watch them if they let you...
