Re: SwirlX
Hi Mike,
Thanks for the welcome!
I'm guessing there are many ways you can think of products which are not body shop safe. And my impression is that it's not safe because after you use swirlx, it may leave something on the paint that prevents paint from bonding over it. Well that fact itself doesn't concern me too much since I'm not using it in a body shop. But what does concern me is if I'm applying a pure sealant over it, it may also hinder the bonding of that since the sealant has no cleaners to help create a bare surface for it to bond to. So does this mean I have to follow some steps that body shop follows to get off whatever this leftover is so I have a perfectly good surface to bond my sealant to?
So basically, I'm wondering if the body shop safe products wipe off completely clean such that a pure sealant can be applied to it directly, while a body shop UNsafe product requires an additional IPA wipedown at minimum to get some sort of residue off such that a pure sealant has a better surface to bond to.
Thanks!
