Before signing the paper work on my new CX-5, the finance manager offered us a very good deal on Perma Plate http://permaplate.com/cms/index.php/index.html. From the pamphlet, the Perma Plate seem to be a good idea to those who are very active in sports and would use the CX-5 along with the adventures. However the cost of Perma Plate cost anywhere between $600-$1400, but he gave it to us for a very good deal for the plating (almost nothing and they provided a rental while the car was getting the service done 4-6 hour process they informed me) and there we sealed the deal for the new purchase.
We schedule the appoint to have the CX-5 Perma Plated this past Monday (10-22-12), I got the car back that night and the exterior and interior feels great! However it didn't do that I was told that it would. We were informed that the whole interior would be plated which includes fibergaurd (protection to the cloth portion of the interior against oil and water base spills), however I did a quick test with water and it didn't seal anything! I'll be calling the dealer tomorrow and speak to both the finance manager and the service manager about it. It seems to me that- other than a very nice car wash and coating to the exterior, the interior didn't get the full treatment or any treatment at all!
I'm wondering if anyone within the CX-5 community that also purchased or have experiences with Perma Plate? What are your input on it?
