I haven't tried this product but would suggest that you would be wasting your time. If it's anything like the products used to "seal & Protect" the paint surfaces on vehicles it would need to be reapplied every year or so...
My reccomendation would be to go to an automotive paints supplier & ask them for something suitable...I bought some "fireglaze" $25 a bottle & did my car with it & it works as well as the $800 odd that Ming want...
So yes my cycnicism comes yet again to the fore....I didn't answer your question but I got you thinking....

I have purchased the Vantec and would not do so again -for the outside of the van.
We tow a 2000 model Royal Flair with a Jackaroo Diesel.

The Vantec did not appear to help with the diesel deposits down the side of the van. Nor did it appear to prevent the dust from sticking to the goop that they seal your van up with.

We keep our van undercover when not in use so can not comment on any of the other pollutants that it is supposed to help with.

The kit that we received to annually re-apply to maintain protection was the worst product I have ever used for paint protection. It left spots of what looked like Vaseline all over the van. -you mix it with water and wash the van with it.
Vaseline would have come off easily compared to this stuff. I Spent a full day buffing the van to get rid of the spots. After talking to other van owners we simply use Nu Finish. It gives a good lasting finish and is easier to apply and buff than what we experienced with the Vantec.
Our Van unfortunately is used only two or three times a year for a total time of about 4-5 weeks.
I would not personally outlay money for Vantec again with my van usage if I were to purchase another van.
