Body shop safe?

[top189h]

I was interested in stepping up from otc tools and supplies to an adam's package with a porter cable for my truck. It only has minor swirls but I am also planning on doing some body work to smooth out the antena and tail gate and repainting my hood to clear some rock chips. So my main concern is are adam's polishes safe to use on fresh paint and can i buff out 2500 grit scratches with them after i wetsand? Its not my first go around buffing but I want a system I can use more than a few times on the paint without damaging it. I've seen too many times at work what a rotary can do.

Chris means that if used in a body shop, the silicone used won't cause paint to fish-eye, or have other adhering problems when drying.

 

Quick Answer: Swirl & Haze Remover has Zero silicone or polymers, and is 100% body shop safe.

 

We have several body shop customers who use our products in their shop. Most use our Brilliant Spray Glaze as a final coat before the vehicle leaves the shop.

 

Our other products are not designed for use in body shops, as typically, there is a paint booth nearby. Airborne silicone can cause problems, and spraying tire dressing is typically the biggest cause of problems.

 

(We don't have a spray-dressing, but using our Undercarriage Spray near the fan which vents a spray booth, while painting, would be BAD.)

 

Soon, we will have a compound that is more agressive than the Swirl & Haze, and it too will be okay to use in the body shop.

 

While we have never had a report of someone using our products, and had the paint fisheye, or have other problems, it's important to note that we did not design our products to be used in a body shop.

 

Body shop businesses typically need more abrasive compounds to cut sanding scratches. That has not yet been a product in our line we can say will outperform the competition in the category 110%.

 

Stay tuned, as that is one of the dozen products that will be coming to you from our little biz!
