Teflon: great for pots and pans; probably a needless option for the Stook. I'll pass.

This page about a teflon containing paint sealant but I think the link actually says it all.

http://www.autoprofit.com/thorite/paint_seal.html

Paint sealant is great, for the person who sells it.

Here's what Consumers Reports says about "paint sealant" in their web page about how to buy a new car:

"Think twice about dealer add-ons. After you think you've agreed on a purchase price, the salesperson or the business manager may try to sell you an extended-service contract or dealer-installed "packs" such as rustproofing, paint sealant, or fabric protection. Refuse them. They're generally overpriced or worthless."

Here's the link but you have to be a subscriber to use it, I think.

I've been using a marine teflon polish on the inside of the wheels and they seem to be easier to keep clean. Like Barry said, use Zaino, it works IMO.
