hi jsmc  all the sealed jobs i have been to estimate with view to washing them are scaby and with bits as big as your hand flakeing off     then the custy is not realy asking you to wash it  but to repair it or remove it    all the washing in the world will not make a sows ear into a silk purse     if in dowt and you have pride/reputation   wallk away and dont just think pound notes

You could always do what i do and ask the customer if the drive has been sealed in the past.
They usually know  ;)

Sealed drive will be smooth and 9 times out of 10 have flaking or white patches(blooming) on it.It will look varnished and might also be a grey dirty colour which will not wash off.If you re-seal do a test patch first to test for a re-action.Be ready for an abusive call 6 months down the line to go back and re-do because customers think it comes with a lifetime warranty,if i was you i`d stick to cleaning/sanding because you`ll only be sealing in July and August anyway and the outlay isn`t worth the profit.Dan
