There is alot of markup. Should be able to buy Paint & Fabric & Rust protection for about $499. Most places will try to start at $1299.

Fabric protection is 1-2 cans of ScotchGuard... any dealer/salesman who tells you differently is flat out lying to make a sale. Cost? $10-$20
The "Diamond Kote" polymer is no different than the Zaino Brothers polymer I mentioned previously. Cost? <$75 for a complete kit that will last you several years if used appropriately.
Not the best ones... the
only rust preventers that work are the sacrificial anodes (zinc is one option). Want to know what another sacrificial anode material is? Aluminum! If you have anything on your car that's aluminum, make sure it doesn't have an anodized coating between it and the car body and you have an automatic sacrificial rod.
