Soz late reply Gard X protection was something the garage offered me when I bought the car, it's meant to be a extra layer of protection for the paint work, cost me around £125 the car seems to polish up easier, they reckon 8 years protection....undecided if it was worth the money. I ended up cleaning the stickers with a brillo pad (was careful not to hit the paint work). My warranty runs out in September so might get my ass down the garage if you think these might be covered by the warranty, thanks for the heads up Woody!!
