after market protection products
First time poster. Looking forward to taking delivery early August of a pewter/ash E500. A couple of questions about after market products to keep it looking new. Anyone have experience with:
1. "Carbox" liner for trunk. Looks like a good product. Currently do a lot of gardening and haul a bicycle to work so need trunk protection.
2. Scotchgard for carpets. Will be getting grooved mats (for Chicago) but looking for extra protection.
3. Stoneguard, Clear-Bra, etc. Appear to be very expensive and I am worried about how it will look. Maybe do lights only?
Any feedback greatly appreciated. Enjoy the site and have learned a lot!

"Carbox" liner for trunk
I have one of these in my E500. Fits perfectly. I was hoping for a Weathertech rubber trunk liner, but I am not sure they have one yet.
WeatherTech does have cargo (trunk) liner in black at the following link:

Thanks for the welcome. Maybe you should post your question separately. Didn't have much luck with mine. Don't know where you live, but I ordered from the Autohaus on Edens. The salesman was very professional and we got a very good deal.

E-500
I have the stonegard on my black E-500. Drove over 16,000 miles. I did get some rock chips in the middle of the hood where the product does not cover. Otherwise, it does not look bad (I was very concerned) and it did protect the front of the hood where most rock chips occur.
I will put it on my replacement car when it gets here.

I have tired before w/o much luck. But there is another list on the same board on finish. They have had a few lines.
I had bad luck with salesmen near where I live [Northside]. Bought from MB of Orland Park. It was an Email discussion.

Many of us have used it on the stupid cloth strip by the door entries. Pretty hard not to step on that most of the time. If you have kids the rear ones will take a real beating. Nothing to applying it...just spray it on.
