Should I buy G3 Glasscoat for my new car?

I am looking at buying a Toyota Yaris 6 months old from my local Toyota dealer - they are advising me to take the paint protection - does this really work?

If it's under £200, okay, otherwise spend £45 on a tub of Autoglym hi-def wax and DIY.

I've been looking at wrapping or ceramic polish to preserve my car's paintwork and keep it looking good. Wrapping is pretty pricey, so what do you think of the ceramic polish paint treatment?
