I was nearly tempted to get this cover. Glad now I didnt. But to be fair some types of damage will be covered, so the cost is not entirely wasted. I think my scuffed bumper photo would have qualified. I was able to do it myself quite easily, and they dont guarantee an invisible repair anyway.
It would be interesting to know if their exclusion of difficult to match paint finishes extends to the Honda pearlescent white? If so why are Honda selling the cover? A good match requires skill and experience, using the correct grade of pearlescent additives and even the direction its layed down (spray direction) can matter.
. Another possible exclusion here . They exclude non factory finishes. Does this mean if a panel has ever been resprayed there can be no further claims for new damage on that same panel.?
While a mobile cosmetic damage finisher may be highly skilled at that task, much of their time will be 'wasted' on driving the van, setting up equipment, flattening down ,masking off, buffing up etc. They may only do one job a day With possibly rushed drying times. A bodyshop can undercut them on price by using cheaper less skilled staff for mundane tasks ,fit more jobs into the day, and the sprayer will spend more time honing their skills actively spraying.
Interesting that most of the advertising I found for Car care plan was directed towards dealerships and the benefits to them in flogging the packages.
