Eastern72 Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 Hi, Anyone had positive experiences with an exterior and interior protective sealant called Resist All that you buy from and is applied to your vehicle by the dealer? My dealer has offered me this sealant complimentary on the paint and leather upholstery of my 2010 Edge Limited. I'm told that I won't have to wax the car again and that it protects the paint from things such as bird droppings and tree sap and protects the upholstery from all kinds of spills and stains. Of course, I'm happy to accept this free treatment! Just interested in hearing about anyone's good experiences with the Resist All product. Thanks. :yup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't protect any better than a regular wax or protectant on the paint and you don't need or want anything to protect the leather - just a good cleaning and conditioning periodically. The dealer is more likely to screw up the paint applying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't trust the dealer (or anyone for that matter...) to apply a "lifetime" paint or fabric protectant. I could see more harm than good coming from application of some "miracle" liquid... If you drive your car in the real world, you will need to pay attention to the finish/paint at some time. If it was really so great, why wouldn't Ford offer to put it on the vehicles from the factory and use that at a selling point?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L1TECH Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 Do not let them apply anything to the finish free or not. A good waxing about every 6 months is the best thing you can do for it. As others have said "snake oil"...run Forest run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pxb006 Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 I'll agree with the previous posts. I'd pass on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastern72 Posted July 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 :wacko: Wow! I'm glad I asked the question and the answers don't make this treatment sound like it would be a good investment - even if free! You're right that I should do regular waxing and leather conditioning and I have to agree that it must not be such a miracle product if Ford (or any other car manufacturer) doesn't apply it during building and market it. Thanks for your responses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your responses. There is one small exception. You can purchase a silicon based fabric protector (not applicable to leather though) which works very well and outlasts scotchguard. It typically lasts 3-5 years whereas scotchguard only lasts 6 months because it's water based. It has to be applied with a respirator but it really does work and you usually get a 3 yr warranty against stains. We used to sell it for furniture protection when I was in college. I had a throw pillow that I sprayed and I would take a coke or other liquid and pour over it and it would run off like it was waterproof. It only cost us about $5 for the chemical plus 10 minutes to spray it on. We charged $40 but that included the warranty. I sprayed my new car seats and carpet for free when I came back to visit the store after college. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
