Do what my friend does, I've been meaning to do this but haven't bought new for a while
When they pull you into the sales room to try and sell you paint protection
Stand up, put your hands on your head, and pretend that your lotto numbers have come up but you forgot to buy a ticket
And say
"omg, so are you saying that you are selling me a car who,s paint is going to fade?!?!?!???!?!?!??!?!? Cancel cancel cancel!!! Where do I sign to cancel the contract"
And watch them back off instantly

Total waste of money. It's just another way for them to make money. They offered it to me when I bought my new car in 2008 and it is still shiney now6 years later. I know 6years isn't that old but still wouldn't buy it. And they will try and sell you tinted windows to the darkest legal tint. They said it would cost me $1100, so I said no thanks and got it from a shop as dark as I want for $200
Cars are normally shipped from overseas and can sit for weeks, sometimes months on docks that are exposed to sea salt.
Damage to paint well and truly done before it arrives at a showroom.

It's a complete waste of money, just like interior protection and rust proofing. It's the dealership putting some cream on the top of what could be a fairly lean deal.
Never buy any of these things.

Actually i use to be skeptical of paint protection, but I have to admit is actually worth it... provided you don't get it from the dealer.
The dealer charges $1,000+ for paint protection, then another $1,000 for interior protection.
I've got both my father in law's car and my car done for $600 for the exterior.
Its been a year and my car still shows up very nicely and doesn't need constant washing.

hence why most top end cars are fully paint corrected, detailed, clayed before customer delivery
i always thought it is waste of time.
However, i just bought a new car .. and paid (off market) $450 for tinting,Paint, rust, electric etc proofing..
drive around in area where you are buying a car from. you will find local tinting/detailing shop.. most dealers send their cars there and charge you $$$$.
