no way - the dealer is just performing a walletectomy. You can get a very nice detail job for a fraction of that
edit: If it is a clear bra job, that would be worth pursuing although $1500 is still pricey but not nearly as overpriced as some of those wax jobs

There's a brand other than 3M that guys on the GT3 forums seem to be big fans of.

What happens when the protection film is scratched and little pinhole tears put in it by a rock: do you end up having to replace the film? I don't think you can touch up the film....is the film more resistant to the chips?
Just wondering because the cars I am looking into mostly have the film on already.

If you have a stone chip all the way through the 3M film, it would have to be replaced. BUT. It is very very rare for something to go all the way through. (I was just unlucky!)
The film is many orders of maginitude more resistant to chips than paint.
