•I personally don’t use wheel cleaners
that contain HF/ABF acid—they aren’t
ever, ever worth the health risks they
pose. As such:
-Should this product be used by anyone
that hasn’t been professionally trained
and certified in all aspects of HF/ABF acid?
-No way in Hades, IMHO.
•Meguiar’s D140 SDS contains
the recommended PPE:

8.2.2. Personal protective equipment (PPE)
Eye/face protection
Select and use eye/face protection to prevent
contact based on the results of an exposure
assessment. The following eye/face protection(s)
are recommended:
-Full Face Shield
-Indirect Vented Goggles
Skin/hand protection
Select and use gloves and/or protective
clothing approved to relevant local standards
to prevent skin contact based on the results
of an exposure assessment. Selection should
be based on use factors such as exposure levels,
concentration of the substance or mixture,
frequency and duration, physical challenges such
as temperature extremes, and other use conditions.
Consult with your glove and/or protective clothing
manufacturer for selection of appropriate compatible
gloves/protective clothing. Gloves made from the
following material(s) are recommended:
-Butyl Rubber
If this product is used in a manner that presents
a higher potential for exposure (eg. spraying,
high splash potential etc.), then use of protective
coveralls may be necessary. Select and use body
protection to prevent contact based on the results
of an exposure assessment. The following protective
clothing material(s) are recommended:
-Apron: Butyl rubber
Respiratory protection
An exposure assessment may be needed to
decide if a respirator is required. If a respirator
is needed, use respirators as part of a full
respiratory protection program. Based on the
results of the exposure assessment, select
from the following respirator type(s) to reduce
inhalation exposure:
During heating:
Use a positive pressure supplied-air respirator
if there is a potential for over exposure from
an uncontrolled release, exposure levels are
not known, or under any other circumstances
where air-purifying respirators may not provide
adequate protection.
Half facepiece or full facepiece air-purifying
respirator suitable for organic vapors and particulates
For questions about suitability for a specific
application, consult with your respirator manufacturer.
