anyways, 2 quick points.

If product wasn't sealed in some way for shipping, wouldn't they either a: dry out eventually, or b: lose their fragrance?

and also, could sealing serv to protect other things from the product?

Yes, Autopia is a small group of 10,000 ++ members looking to pedal unsealed Mother's products in an attempt to screw you in particular.

You make a good point. Any forum like this will attract a lot of people who are either manufacturers or on-sellers of car care products. Most of them do not register as who they really are, but try to influence people to buy their products in very subtle ways. The very last thing they want is someone like me encouraging people to buy sealed products, because that's not in their interests. The more angry they are, the more suspicious it is to me.

totally out of line... a lot of us support companys we believe in... and try to share them with others, thats the whole point of a forum... if we didnt do so... who knows where we would be...

I've never worried about it. But you brought up an interesting point. Example:Say Zaino sealed thier bottles with a clear plastic on top of there bottles. Now there are 2 bottles of Z2 on the shelf at a local store, and one had the plastic seal and the other was missing. I know I would grab the one with the seal.

But since I dont buy many OTC products I trust my internet product providers with the qulity of the merchandise I'm getting.
