    Body shop safe products...

    I may need to do a wheel job inside the wash bay at a body shop. Shop owner asked if the products I plan to use are silicone free.

    Duh...haven't thought of that. So how does one know if product contains silicone or not??

    Re: Body shop safe products...

    A ton of products say "body shop safe" and are "silicone free" on the bottle or on their web page on Auto Geek. Which products are you thinking about using? What kind of job are you going to do to the wheels?

    Re: Body shop safe products...

    I have seen some products saying they're body shop safe. What I need to find out/and or learn how find what stuff are in what products just so I know what is what in different products.

    As for the wheels---plan to wash with soap, use sonax wheel cleaner to remove brake dust, hit the tire once with tuff shine tire cleaner, and then finish off tire again with rubber rejuvenator, clean wheels with Blackfire coat paint prep to prep for coating and then coat wheels with pinnacle black diamond wheel coating and McKee's tire coating...

    Owner said if shop gets messed up---he'll send me a bill for all damages to shop!!!

    This got me thinking---I need to "know how" to find/get information regarding silicone in various different products and to protect myself with proof of what were in the products.

    The only thing off top my head---silicone generally are found in tire, trim dressing and possible in some waxes and sealants. I'm not sure tho...

    Re: Body shop safe products...

    Tom, I'm confused, and perhaps naive... Is the shop owner afraid of sling getting on his paint work? If you're doing wheels, what does the shop owner care what you use?
    Most of the 3D Products are body-shop safe.

    Re: Body shop safe products...

    Once silicone is used at a body shop or becomes air borne---it screws up the whole place for couple of weeks or so. If they see funny stuff on wheels---they make owners remove tire dressing before bringing in their cars for repair work.

    That is why it is important to know which stuff is body shop safe. Or at least know which product doesn't contain silicone.

    In worst case---I'll just stay where I am at (another place) and do the wash/prep wheels outside in the cold rather than taking the wheels to the body shop where they have an inside wash bay which is heated and much warmer.

    Cold weather does get in the way of getting things done with water!

    Re: Body shop safe products...

    More importantly---How do I find information about the products I am using?

    Labels on bottles do not list what's in the product.

    With newer paint technologies/chemicals this is really more of a non issue these days. It would really only be an issue if you were using cheap, greasy dressings.
