Teflon Coating or Not?

I will be buying a new CLS this week and was wondering if anyone can give me any feedback regarding the Teflon coating dealers say will help resist the elements... I did read from previous threads that it probably is not worth the money. I can get it for $500. Any comments from the members? Is the Teflon coating permanent? Does it really provide value?

I've never heard of this, but generally any of those special coatings dealers will sell is total BS.

NO! just save your money and give your new CLS a wax when needed. The Teflon is a rip off. Dealers love when customers pay for things like this, major profit for them. Good Luck

I got this stuff call Xzilon from dealer when I bought the car that goes on everything........inside and out. Was developed for Boeing's airplanes. The stuff is the **** and the car looks brand new everytime you wash it. 5 yr warranty and they even warranty against cig burns in car on the upholstry(sic). Was like $795, but agreed that a lot of **** out there is a rip off
