None taken General - but how could a moblie SMART repair - even one over a few hours ever be as good as in the bodyshop - would it not be logical that environmental factors exist outside that just are not there when working inside?

The colour match and blending was excellent...so I'm not knocking what a good operative can do.....also was under the impression that as a moble operative you could only use a limited range of water only based products....something that will I'm sure become the norm for all, but as yet do not fully apply to a workshop based shop?

I'll get in touch with the last chap and ask the question on the top coat used....I'd not touched the area at all for 3 months (just light washing), first LSP went on about month 6....the recent G220 hit would have been a good 10 months in...and just enough to lightly show colour on the pad...so stopped...and went back to hand....It still looks glossy.

I'll see if I can get some photo's up for comment...

Does a repair over a plastic panel differ from a metal one?

I appreciate any thoughts - as I say, as a company we've had quite a few repirs done...but get to see very few of them 1-2 years later....
