Auto Guard Paint Protection. What's the deal?

Today, they called and said I'm due for a treatment, I told them they made an error, and the guy said "well, you're listed as having it so just come get it."

So, potentially free Auto Guard for me. Do you guys know anything about this stuff? It sounds different from Clear Bra which is specifically for stone protection and only gets sprayed on the front bumper, hood, and rocker panels. This Auto Guard stuff goes on all of the paint and is marketed by Nissan as a clear coat rejuvenation. They claim it's ok to spray over existing chips and scratches and doesn't preclude you from respraying the car in the future.

Any input or advice you guys have would be much appreciated. If it's worth doing since it's free, I might as well. However, I don't want any headaches in the future when I'll eventually respray my hood and front fascia.

I also agree that spraying over any grime that's accumulated seems like a bad plan. Finally, I'd trust it more if it was someone professionally applying it by hand...this is a machine spinning some old brushes over the car for a few minutes. Telling them to offer my applications to the next Versa buyer they have.
