Auto Butler +10 Hp (No 56k :( )
I am absoultely impressed by the auto butler service. Due to some issues with the dealership they gave me a complimentary cleaning! We parked my 6 month old car next to a brand new TP one in broad day light and my car put the new one to shame! Too bad I didn't get any pics, I waited till I got to my friends house to steal his camera. The pics are taken in natural light so the dim ones are as the sun is going down, I think it highlights the shine best! Its harder to see on a light colored car... oh well! Enjoy my poor photgraphy skills. 
Will report on the new brakes once I give them a beating.

Looks great!
Keep in mind that this is just a sealant, and needs reapplication every 6 months. While I appreciate that they admit this readily, I'm not sure I like their application method (essentially running the car through a car wash that applies the sealant).
Please keep us up to date re: how it performs long term for you. Also, if you don't mind me asking, what did the dealer charge for this service?
A good bottle of sealant is around $10-20, and is good for at least 10 or so applications (5 years if durability is good and reapplied every 6 months). If they're charging a huge markup on this, it's a good bet to just do it yourself on occasion unless you're really not into DIY.

And thats the funny part about the sticker its my +10 HP. I am taking it off no worries. They also buffed the car out too, no worries and yes they said it was a sealent. And I'm sure in 6 months they'll send me a notice in the mail.

Well, from what I understood from my service guy is that they apply this polisher and then polish it in.
The car feels silky smooth to the touch, just like a great wax job. I don't see how it could be a rip -- plus this morning when I washed my car the summer bugs melted (hehe) right off like they said he would. I guess if you don't want to wax the car yourself, and want it protected its a great service! Besides, the car looks great .. nice and shiny!
Ohh and I did look the car over for Swirl marks.. none to be found, well except a few on the hood that I accidently did.

If you wanted to get this done again at the dealer, did your service manager indicate how much it would cost? I'm sure that because of the mirror finish that you now have, giving you the complimentary service, you'll be back for seconds! I sure would ...
