I would mention two things about polyglycoating: 1) Yes, you can certainly
do it yourself, but you either have to be in practice, or very careful, to
get an even coat everywhere on the car.  2) It really does seal the paint
in plastic, and some versions of it soak into the paint.  If there is ANY
water anywhere on the car, you've just sealed it in with the paint, where
it will work on the car body forever, rain or shine.  On the whole I would
therefore disagree with CU, and say that it's a good idea, but best
performed either by pros, or by owners with a penchant for fanaticism.
