Either you're seriously underpricing it, Ian, or it's a postal MOT. Any 2cv with a half-decent shell and a genuine ticket's worth good money these days. Tatty but vaguely usable? A grand. Easily.

No, it depends what you want. Waxes tend to give a 'warmer' finish to the paint, where a sealant will give a more 'mirror' like finish. However, the Zaino is reflective but has characterisitics of the wax. > Of course it's going to be difficult to prove all this - you'd need to do > two bits with the different products at the same time, rathere than > remembering what it looked like in different light conditions several > weeks ago. > > Then there's the question of durability of finish - could it be that the > Zaino gives a higher gloss for a shorter time, but the professional gave > you something which would last a bit longer? Possibly, but sealants tend to have more durability. -- MrBitsy Rover 75 CDTi |
