Is there a list of "body shop safe" products?

[haimiah]

I've tried to do a fair bit of searching, and have found a few posts saying that many of the Adams products aren't body shop safe, and even that finding a more "body shop safe" product line from other companies. I'd like to start carrying/selling some products out of our body shop office, but obviously don't want to cause any issues.

I'd guess most tire products are going to be no-no's but I'd hoped there was a list of products with silicone based ingredients.

Thanks!

Hi Jeremiah! Thanks for joining the forum, and welcome! We do have certain requirements and buy-in tiers in order to be a re-seller of our products. For more information about the wholesale program options, you can contact our wholesale department from this link: https://adamspolishes.com/pages/become-a-distributor

If your retail/office area is sectioned off from the body shop area, you should be ok, as long as you aren't spraying products directly in the office area, where particles could travel through the air or any duct work. Generally most of our protection products could potentially cause issues in a body shop, as they contain some amount of silicone, polymers, carnaubas, resins, or solvents. Waxes, sealants, ceramics, and sprayable products of ours that I would NOT use in or directly near a body shop or paint booth include:

• Americana Paste Wax
• Brilliant Glaze
• Buttery Wax
• Ceramic Boost
• Ceramic Spray Coating
• Ceramic Waterless
• CS3
• Detail Spray
• Fabric Protector
• Glass Boost
• Glass Sealant
• Graphene Ceramic Coating
• Graphene Ceramic Spray Coating
• Graphene Detail Spray
• Graphene Tire Dressing
• Hand Polish (has some glaze and protection in it)
• H2O Guard & Gloss
• In & Out Spray
• One Step Metal Polish (has some protection in it)
• Paint Sealant
• Patriot Wax
• Rinse + Coat
• Slick & Slide
• Spray Wax
• Tire Shine
• Ultra Foam Shampoo
• Undercarriage Spray
• UV Ceramic Leather & Vinyl Coating
• UV Ceramic Paint Coating
• UV Ceramic Spray Coating
• UV Ceramic Wheel Coating
• VRT
• Wash & Wax
• Wash + Coat

Machine polishing products of ours that are safe for use in a body shop are:

• Compound
• One Step Polish
• Polish
• Scratch & Swirl Remover

My apologies, sometimes I get ahead of myself.

I'd like to offer some Adam's Products as kind of an "add on" service for customers we've done paint/body work for. you know like an impulse buy item, either while we are writing an estimate, or when they are picking their vehicles up. 

I'd also like to use some of those products, in an effort to practice what we preach, so I wanted to grab some of the "body shop safe" products to use while prewashing/final detailing customer vehicles, obviously without causing issues in the paint department. Dan's list gives me beautiful start, on some products I can avoid.

I don't think there's a list, but what products are you most interested in? I'll ask our chemist. Tire Shine and Undercarriage Spray are two that I'm fairly sure aren't body shop safe, while the Compound and Polish are.

I'm going to pick out a few products, and I may take you up on just double checking. Otherwise I'll do some in house testing haha

I've spoken with Alan about the different options, and have found an option that works for all parties. He was VERY helpful
