This is a subject that all of us can learn from. We need to get some absolute answers from these company's !
I'm a auto body man and if I know that the person that brought in their car to be painted, wither it's a touch up to all out full body, if he's used silicone on the paint, I have a lot,..... of wiping the car down with wax remover. It's a *****, to get it all cleaned off to ready for paint. I HATE SILICONE.
Those of you that use a product that has this nasty chemical, it builds up fast. I recommend striping it off every year and put a good coat of carnauba wax. As we don't have our cobras a daily driver, only one application is necessary.
If anyone would like to ask questions about detailing, please do so vis email or phone call. I've built many show cars through the years and I think, a wise mans advise, as far as keeping your paint in tip top condition.
As an example of what silicone can do to your finish-
My brother in law tried to do his best to get my sister surprised as he cleaned their the interior with Armorall. He thought it looked great so, he decided to wipe down the paint and said it looked very nice and shinny !
The next morning, the paint was ruined !!!
It looked so bad, my sister was crying, as the car was only 6 months old. Well, I made him wipe down the car with a remover three times !
I then sanded the entire car and repainted it.
He learned a good lesson on this one !
Don't even use silicone products on you vinyl or rubber (on tires too) Have you looked at tires that has a silicone base ?. They will turn brown and you'll loose that natural black new look. Just use a good leather cream.
