stuff with silicone in it is "fine" to use, but all you're doing is covering up imperfections. basically you're wasting your time, becasue rather than keeping your paint in proper condition, you're just filling in damage (that will, overtime, disappear and you'll be back at square 1 - actually, less than square 1, because if you've got damage (Swirls, marring, etc...) that become hidden, you're probably inducing more in the meantime)

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 !  |
That's got nothing to do with silicone - it's got to do with a moron using a product clearly not meant for clearcoat.
I might as well buy 3 cans of laquer thinner and pour it on my hood, then say anything that's liquid in nature is bad for clearcoat.
