Environment Package same as 3M?

Dealer is offering an environment package(Gold package) for $395 which covers below items. Just wondering if this is same as 3M Scotchgard if not if this is even worth considering.

"Paint protection: protects aganist fading, chalking, loss of gloss, acid rain, tree sap, bird droppings, water spotting, industrial fallout, road salt and all insects". "Fabric & Vinyl/Leather protection: Interior protection aganist permanent damage caused by fading, chewing gum, loose seam stitches and permanent staining caused by food, drink, dye, lipstick, makeup, crayons, urine, voomit and oil based stains through normal use"

Thanks

Don't do it, sounds like what you stated, just ScotchGard for the seats/interior and a "polish" for the exterior.

Thanks Guys, I will skip it. He said it will come with 6 years warranty, but I searched everywhere and can't find enough information on what exactly it is. All dealer said was it is some kind of chemicals mixture which will keep the car shining for 6 years and will protect the paint.

I think that's PERMASHINE, I know the Lexus dealer offers it.

It's a revenue generator for the dealer.
