paint protection from dealer

guys, what do you think of the paint protection stuff the dealer offers at delivery. my dealer says its the best there is and that i should get it. its expensive so i only want it if its worth it. i like my car looking clean bt do not wax and detail as often as i probably should. so, should i spring for it or not?
by the way, it offers (from the brochure):
  • Provides an outstanding and brilliant shine
  • Self-cleaning titanium dioxide Ti02 composition oxidises organic compounds
  • Permanent oxidising generator that only needs oxygen, UV light and water to work
  • Enhanced with a UV protectant to prevent fading and premature aging
  • Provides exceptional stain resistance againstbug-splatter, bird and bat droppings, tree sap, acid rain, salt spray, grime, grease and road tar.
  • Chemically inert and will not react with contaminants from the environment
  • Lifetime Warranty

complete nonsense. Nothing better than your own periodic effort: wash, clay, polish, wax.

All you need to do is wax your car once a month. Show the 1'er some love.
