Zaktek Protective Coating??

Zaktek Protective Coating??
Has anyone heard or had any experience with the dealer applied Zaktek protective coating? It was offered to me for free (after I paid for the car) by my Acura dealer. It's supposed to be applied every 6 months. It says it's a polymer protectant, but there's no much info on their website (http://www.zakproducts.com/index.php...egory=Programs)
I'm wondering if it's even worth my time. It would seem that the car would have to be absolutely spotless otherwise this would just seal in dirt underneath the coating.
Would I just be better off waxing/sealing my car with say, Duragloss #105?
Thoughts?

#105 or the likes are just as good as what they use.

My dad just purchased a used 2008 black Toyota Camry and purchased their paint protection plan with something similar. The dealer "detailed" the paint and applied the protection. I took a look at it the other day and wow, they sure did a crappy job. I could see swirl marks, water spots, and the paint needs to be clayed big time. I guess to the average joe, it looks good...but to those in the know, it's really a rip off.

The only reason I was still considering it is under the assumption that it was free, given that most of these car care products come with a hefty price tag.

Yeah, I guess that's probably what I'll end up doing. Any suggestions on removing this coating? Will it just come off with time, should I try washing with Dawn dish soap, or use some sort of cleanser or polish?

Leave it there .. its not hurting anything .. You could put a layer of Duragloss #105 over it just for peace of mind.

Yeah I guess. I just want to remove the water spots that appear to be locked underneath this Zaktek stuff.
Also regarding the Aquartz, their claims sound good, but I'm gonna have to wait to get feedback from an actual consumer. In my limited experience, there's really no coating, sealant, etc that will provide a glossy finish and protect the paint for even 1 year, let alone 2 (unless maybe it was garaged the majority of the time). Then again, my car never sees the inside of a garage, unfortunately.
Jesstzn, let us know how it works out for you.
