- This is really "dealer add-on" not dealer prep. The preparation of
- the car such as adjusting alignment, etc. is included in the price
- of the car. However, they rarely do more than wash the car before
- you get it.
-
- As for the fabric protectant and paint sealant, it is important but
- you can do it yourself. The fabric protectant really means they just
- spray it with a can of Scotch Guard. The paint sealant means they
- apply an acrylic sealant which you can get for less than $20. I bet
- they are asking hundreds of dollars for these "services".
