"detailing" + paint protection = ripoff or not?

my 1996 900s convertible has been good to me lately - it's been really reliable and abbott racing have made it fun to drive, so I thought I'd reward it with a clean up from a car detailing service.
It's looking a bit scruffy after 5 years on the road so I guess folks who clean cars for a living can do a better job than I've been doing and the cost seems reasonable for 3 hours work...however, they are trying to sell me "paint protection"
so i asked them -Wot is this stuff? "A scientifically formulated compound that guarantees protection from UV light and you won't have to wax/polish it for 2 years - essential for our harsh climate" they replied.
I'm tempted to pay for it (hate polishing cars) but I'm skeptical - it's prolly just ordinary car polish with a bullsh*t name - so if anyone has any opinion, specialist technical knowledge, experience or info on "paint protection" please share it - thanks.
