WOW,
Talk about propaganda! 'Silicone' was used thorough the 70's by OEM and car dealers alike. They sold and applied it as a once in a lifetime miracle "Never have to wax your car again!" (You guys older than 30+/- remember that hype? Dealers were selling this miracle 'stuff'-applied for over a $150.00 a treatment!

Harmfull to paint? Gotta take "Mothers" advice on that but I'm sure the hundreds of customers (and I mean Hundreds after having a custom body shop for over 40 years!) I repainted their cars for, would probably argue that statement! Paint faded, peeled (mostly Gm and their water based EPA approved primer) and cracked.

I have washed cars with lacquer thinner, tide, prep-sal, professional cleaners everything but jelly to de-contaminate a cars surface that had been done with a silicone product!

FISHEYES, well they are dead on with that statement. Before we-my crew and my wife and I were imformed-(By Dupont) She used "ARMORALL" ON THE DASH OF HER CAR. WE HAD TO REMOVE ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING THAT WAS NOT ACTUALLY PERMANENTLY MOUNTED in the shop then Steam clean the entire shop and equipment.
It then still took months before I could paint anything without getting Fisheyes! Another note is all paint manufacturers will tell/teach you to use as little Fisheye ELIMINATOR as possible, (Forgot the reason for that now.) NOT to keep adding it until your paint lays down right! I have seen were a full pint to a qt. of mixed paint isn't enough!

Maybe it wasn't the silicone creating the problem, but it sure was/is an additive that is used with it. Think about this for a moment; how many products especally automotive waxes and or cleaners that advertise big time that their product contains NO silicones what so ever!

I dearly love Mothers products, but the way they presented their "silicone" story, just fry's my old arse!

OK..I'm done.
DV

Another Internet hoax or wrong information due to ignorance? I don't think so!

PS..I HAD TO COME BACK AND ADD THIS; I/WE ARE NOT ADVOCATIING THAT THE PRODUCT DOESN'T SHINE! IT DOES AND PRODUCES A GREAT SHINE BUT,.....IT IS THE LONG TERM USE THAT IS IN QUESTION !!!!!!!!!! JUST HAD TO KEEP THIS POINT CLEAR!
