I think he just meant before you apply a paint sealant. I never thought about it, but I would actually agree with him on that. Dealerships don't clay a car when they prep it. There is a lot of time for the new paint to collect contaminants during shipping. Ours come across the Pacific ocean from Japan.

Ok I don't know what it was called, but there is a "sealant" they apply yearly inside and out. When I purchased my IS in Dec. it was an option which of course I declined. However, it came with DING insurance. For 3-5 years if you purchase it they will fix an unlimited number of dings. Now, I have two RXs and they rarely get dinged. However, my IS must wear a sign that says "hit me" because the 3rd day I drove it it got 3 dings. I then bought the insurance, they fixed the dings and put the coatings on. (It also covered the interior and windshield). Now, I notice (1000 miles later) that I have another ding. But for the total cost of the insurance for 5 years I'll have all my dings taken care of. Not too shabby.

I worked clay bar and a wax into the deal, as the car had been sitting on the lot for a couple months. Really like the Smokey Granite/black combo. The 3M turned out well--all in all very pleased w/ the car, the $$ deal and the dealership (seattle lexus).
