In this video I share my thoughts on the add on Cilajet when buying a car, Dodge Challenger, Charger, etc.

I used to be a detailer at a big ford dealership. They would sell a paint protection add on for 2000 dollars. All it was is ceramic wax in a bottle that we would put into a foam cannon, mix it with water, and spray on the car during the car wash. It took about 60 seconds to do. Total rip off.
That’s why knowledgeable buyers don’t pay for that. Usually we’ll order the car and get it off the trailer still in plastic and ask the dealer to not touch the car.
I worked at a dealership in the past. The undercoat was actual rubberized coating that took an hr to apply. The paint and fabric sealer was not that special. Maybe useful for 3 months. I never buy any of these add ons. IMO nobody should buy these add ons.
I used to work for the dealership that I ordered my SS 1LE from and they sold a paint protection and fabric protection for $2799!! All it was was sprayed on the seats and sprayed on the exterior of the car while it was being washed for delivery. I told the salesman that I know what their protection package consists of and that I’m not going to pay for it. He told me that they have to charge that for every car they sell. I walked out of the door and wouldn’t you know I got a phone call from the salesman saying that since I was a former employee they would eliminate the protection package and give me employee pricing. I ordered my car and couldn’t be happier.
It's a complete scam. I used to be a sales manager at a dealership. Our cost of the product was $10 per bottle and it took about 15 minutes to apply. Typically the product lasted about three washes. (I jokingly called it spray wax with a warranty). It provides no verified UV protection other than slightly higher gloss.
After leaving the business, I found myself buying a new Chevy last year and they were pushing this product hard. I turned it around and directly told the sales manager that by saying I "needed" this product he apparently had very little confidence in the quality of the OEM paint. His face turned bright red. Needless to say I didn't buy any extras.
Some things never change. I lived in Northern Wisconsin back in the 70s, and back then the item the dealerships sold was rustproofing. One time a little independent body shop I hung out at back then, went to push out a dent in a door, there was no rustproofing in the door! There were plugs in the door so it looked like it had been rustproofed, but not a sign of any rustproof material inside the door! This was all fifty years ago, so all I remember is it was the Ford dealership in Rhinelander, Wisconsin that was pulling that trick back then.
As someone who worked in sales 30+ years and learned to sell in the 3M sales training program in the 80's . I find these guys pretty offensive I generally tell the sales person what I want and ask for a "best price". If they start playing games, I leave. I have already rescearched what the price should be. I never listen to add on lies.
I tried doing a deal on a GT3 with the Boise Porsche dealer. We finally agreed on a price, but when we did the trade on a 50th anniversary 911 in concours shape with 6,000 miles they offered $20,000 UNDER wholesale. I immediately killed the deal bought a car from Newport Beach. They did full wholesale and my negotiated price. Later the Boise salesman saw me and says he was a professional and I was stealing money for his family and taking food from their mouths. I told him that $20,000 was MINE FIRST and stealing it FROM ME doesn’t make him a professional salesman it makes him a THEIF . I said next time I see him I’ll call him a RAT to his face. He moved to Mercedes
I worked as a lot attendant at ford dealership instead of sending cars out for detail they would get us to detail and buff paint without knowing how to even do it...
Doesn’t surprise me…
@Papolucho702 I'm not saying it's the same everywhere but I've heard similar stories with other brands..
that product seems very vintage Blue Coral Fomblin A paint sealant, especially with the aerospace reference.
That’s why guys like us who know what we’re doing ask our dealerships to NOT TOUCH the car!!! Sell it to me in plastic and I’ll detail it. Take it off the trailer if it’s ordered. Leave it as is and give me the car as it is
Lot attendant at a dealer was the most fun Ive ever had working
Any car sales man scared about what someone is posting on UA-cam is a sh__ty sales man that couldn’t sale a pen if he had too …
Turtle Wax Ceramic coating is a remarkable product $15.00
This dude is good! Respect. Oh... I wouldn't fall for it, but I knew where he was going when he mentioned paint & '78. The calculator bit was a nice touch too. Old school car salesman shenanigans. Takes me back...😂
Ok, let’s not forget the all-important glass etching… $495 the last time I saw it 6 years ago. I just can’t drive at peace without serial numbers on my glass.
Check out the Homework Guy. They’re good too.
Appreciate everything you do for us Mr motivator Keep doing what you're doing brother.
I’ve purchased two new vehicles this year, and didn’t pay a single penny in add ons. In my mind, I think it’s easier for everyone if you just state that upfront. The salesman can spend less time haggling with me, and thus move on more quickly to the next potential customer for another sale. It shouldn’t be so difficult, and frankly there no reason for it to be. Always love your videos and always looking out for folks.
@@fisforfamily9585 I just bought new truck last week, the dealer I use has never had add ons, and didn’t try to sell me anything ext a bug did ask if I wanted extended warranty because I drive 20,000 miles or more a year.
I used to use NuFinish myself, it lasts many years, and a spray can of fabric protection is very quick and easy to apply.
Or you can bring it to a detailer several times for the price of what the dealer wants.
I respect what you do. It's never been a fair fight. Until people like you come along and want to even the odds. They are just mad because the power dynamic being shifted is not something they know how to deal with it.
Love the consistency! Keep it up Brad 😎 Steve has been in the game a long time he’s been around ! Unfortunately I don’t trust salesman anymore
Strong people don't like to be lied to and weak people don't like being told the truth.
When I bought my second car, I was still very young around 24 and on the add ons it said $2000 ceramic coating already had been applied onto the vehicle. I was young, misinformed, and eager to get a cool new car. Thought it was necessary for the car so i agreed, the dealership sold me the car and gave me the a do it at home kit to maintain it. I looked up the kit online it cost $50…watching all of your vids opened my eyes to alot of shady tactics dealerships use and i honestly believe this dealership put a $50 kit on my car and sold it as a $2000 add on. Maybe im wrong but thank you for your educational vids OC next time i buy a car i know i have ALOT of power when it comes to negotiating.
Dealership model in this country is antiquated and a notoriously terrible experience that everyone loathes. At this point, it’s captured audience and a monopoly that requires oversight or dismantled.
What I would ask that boomer salesman is....UNLESS THEY'RE MADE OUT OF GOLD...WHY DO I NEED THOSE $350 LUG NUTS?!😅😂
I bought a new half ton truck in May. They tried to hit me with $2,674.00 in dealer add ons including the ceramic coating. I simply told them that I wasn't paying for it and that it would be a deal killer. They removed it, no problem and we completed the deal. Don't be afraid to ask!
OCM, thanks for turning me on to Steve Richards' youtube channel. He's very entertaining to watch. I've never seen anyone more full of bs in my life!
There’s a new ceramic coating named Clean by pan the organizer and it’s really top-tier! And it’s $99 for three year coating. They’re not hard to put on no matter what brand you buy, you gotta do your homework and watch reviews on the product. I’d rather have one of those and do it myself. I can do my own car. I bought a ton of detailing equipment and I did everything myself.
I rarely ever bought any of that stuff. Except any time I bought a Hyundai, and I didn’t know anything about car finance, they put $600-1000 worth of protection crap lol
The most intensive part of a ceramic coat is paint correction. That’s what takes the most time. I mean, you don’t have to do that, but why would you wanna put a ceramic coating on your car if it’s got swirls and scratches on it.
Just subbed to Steve's channel....thanks for the mention!
I watch Steve Richard’s for years he put me on game with how car salesman do and finance manager he a smooth criminal though
So i used to detail at a dealership, and i applied glasscoat i was the manager and i would always make sure the car was in the condition it should be and yes they would get mad that i refused to not just slap it on quickly.... i treated everyone's car like my own
I have a 2012 Ford Mustang race red I have used F11 on it for years still looks great except for the hood front edge that is a common problem with all Ford Mustang's I don't need paint protection from a dealer when I can do it myself.
I think its best to tell the person trying to sell u a car that u used to be a car salsemen.. just so they dont BS u around as much. 😂
Now they are playing with your interest rate if you don’t come in with your own financing . If you buy add on’s warranty / gap they’ll lower your rate. Happened to me last week on my scat pack.😢
Prices are definitely through the roof but interest rates are REALLY not that bad. If you are getting a 10% interest rate, it’s your own problem in my opinion.
Brad grey videos and hopefully you help a lot of people name is probably not going to happen just like you I know what I'm doing I've been in the car business for 40 years
The ceramic coating industry reached 250 billion dollars in 2023 globally. If this was such an amazing product it would decimate all the competition. It would be everywhere for sale & this company would be a household name by now. But, no one but car dealers know anything about it. Yeah right!
Brad 2014 to 2022 Toyota Tacoma paint is abhorrent…. You can see it on many Toyota trucks fading out on the hood and the roof! And that’s regardless what paint protection you get! It’s all over the web!
OC I am a vender for automotive dealerships in central California I have been doing chip& scratch repairs for 32 years now I don’t do any type of sealers but I know when it’s on the car and I don’t like what I see when its put on the wrong way . Your right take it to a place that knows what they are doing.
Steve Richards is awful. 😂🤦🏼♀️
He's a clown 🤡
Great Advice
Resist All is the same way, dealers only!!!!!! it's applied during detailing wether you buy it or not. You don't pay for it it's there anyway you just don't get the "warranty"!!
I helped my mother buy a new car. A Buick Envista. She wanted an extended warranty because she drives around 30,000 miles a year. I told her that's the only add on you get from them. I was surprised when the salesman didn't really try and sell us anything extra. But we specifically wanted a base model. So maybe that's why. She bought the base model of the cheapest new car at the dealership. And I was there with her to make sure she didn't get ripped off and drove her there in my modified 79 Subaru wagon. So maybe the salesman didn't want to try anything because he could see I was knowledgeable about cars. Either way it was a pleasant surprise.
All the extra stuff they try to get you buy in the finance office you can them no if they don’t want to pay for it if they don’t remove the addendum sticker price walk out.
So... I am the only one who found the sale's pitch completely boring and can see it crashing from miles away?!? It's pretty clear they do this with GAP insurance and extended warranty on new cars. Just smile and say no BEFORE they start talking and wasting ur time.
The product is not an OPTION. "its already on the car" they say. The fact is, its build in the deal, normal managers can only "show you" its gone, but EVERY SINGLE DEAL HAS A HARD COST IN IT. That is they way "how not to pay the workers"
In reality this product Simoniz etc isn’t the greatest product up front. What you are paying for is the warranty. In general most adults won’t need it but I do have simoniz on my car because I have two young kids and they messed up the rear seat and they replaced it. Again doesn’t happen often but paint definitely gets destroyed within 5 years and I have seen companies repaint the cars under warranty. So in short it’s not the best product but it seems like their warranty process is pretty good
Steve’s greatest scam is what he calls the “net payment method “. It’s a bogus calculation to make it appear your payment is less than what it is by reducing the value of your car after 5 years from the actual payment.
Go to your Lamborghini dealer and you won’t see Celijet on a car for a markup.
The number one tool that I ever use when I sold cars was the Foursquare but I didn't do that too long I moved up into different my own business
Oh the 4 square! lol 👍
LOL the 4square. I recently purchased a new vehicle and I warned the salesman if I saw the 4square I would walk. I have purchased a lot of vehicles by paying cash or using 0% financing.
@@motordown7664 hey smart move but that's the way they get people obviously you're smarter than the average bear
Do not agree to the following:
Nitrogen air
Window edging
Paint protection
Technology warranty
Paint coating, same as Paint protection
Any type of markup due to "high demand"
The comedy circuit didn't work out, so he decided, after umping a celebrity softball league, to take his bloviating skills to overwhelm anyone in his car selling pathway. He probably made a lot of money doing so as well.
I highly recommend a ceramic coat called torque detail. I bought a 2023 dodge challenger scat pack.. The car is black, I have never applied a ceramic coat before in my entire life, The bottle comes with a sprayer which is a fine mist. It was so easy to apply and it absolutely looks great! The company that makes it is very professional and the product is great! My dad uses it on his high dollar show cars and he highly recommended me to try it! I think the bottle I bought was less that 50 bucks. I hope this will help someone...
Steve is a relic and he's really hurting those young salespeople. Shame on the stores that hire him.
things with no trade in 'book value"
That Cilijet is a scam. It’s exactly like a product called Permaplate…lol😂
Who's taking food out of sale peoples mouths most of the seasoned sales people I know have multiple cars motor cycles expensive watches nicer homes one person purchased a pool 85,000 cash this summer just negotiate for the best price on the car they don't need extra money
Keep it up! You are the Man!
The guy “salesman’s” full of s**t 😂 you have to be in awww new car or any car for the most part is certainly NOT an investment.
First, idgaf about "taking food out of their mouths". If theyre good theyll make plenty of money selling many cars a month. Second, go into the dealership with the mindset you're not getting anything you dont want or youre walking. Unless its a rare car you shouldnt be pressured to get anything like this crap or lug nuts or nitrogen. If they decide not to take it off walk away and go somewhere else. Plenty of times I traveled to other states to buy a car and drive it home because dealers near me wouldnt give me the deal i wanted
New paints are far better than the old lacquer paint. The new clear coats protect fallout and other materials are far better than old paints.
I don't let them do any of it. I ask total cost obligation on the car I want. 5 minutes max. It works.
I used to watch steve Richard’s videos and would give him absolute crap about his tactics
They think we are nuts or something what is wrong with them they need money that bad or what tell me something
In 2013, Ford had an updated pitch for the new water-based paint.... Nice try Ford! Additional sources, CarEdge & Car Questions Answered.
5% of the price IS a huge percentage. Wtf?!
All dealer Add ons are overpriced ‼️
