Dealer's protective coat and waxing

Dealer's protective coat and waxing
Newbie Q;
When I purchased my new FIT I had the protective coat put on the car. I cannot remember the name at the moment X...something.
I did this mostly for the inside. I have kids and I wanted to be able to keep the seats clean. I got it on my Passat and it worked wonders on my light gray fabric seats.
My question is this...does this eliminate the need to wax? I was amazed the other day when I sprayed a little water on the car to get the dust from the road off, and it beaded up like crazy! I wiped down the car with a towel and it looked like I had just washed it completely.
Anyone have experience with this coating and what I should and shouldnt do to keep the coating warranty as well as keeping the car B-utiful?

The dealer probably just waxed your car. Nothing special.
I hope they didn't sell you the "coating warranty".
It doesn't eliminate the need to wax. Nothing out there will eliminate that need. Just wax on a regular basis (once a month to once every three months, just depends on climate, amount of driving, product used and whether or not you keep it in a garage.)

Here is the stuff I bought...and Nooooo, I am not some stupid chiclet...they did not just 'wax my car'.
Welcome to Xzilon
After reading this website and digging out the warranty, it says NOT to Wax the car. I never waxed my Passat and it still looks awesome - 6 years later.

supposedly you apply the Xzilon once a year with no waxing inbetween. It really doesnt last THAT long. The product itself is a good product and DOES protect your paint, however i would still wax regularly with a non abrasive wax inbetween applications of xzilon.

Doing my due diligence reading now-----I was hoping all the experts here could help me.
Warranty is for 5 years, with no additional applications needed. (Unless the car is damaged, and then they reapply the affected areas.) After 5 years they will reapply the sealant to the whole car inside and out.
I just watched the demo on their website...pretty cool.
