Is this product safe for car paint

I used it on my car exterior and it was safe. It removed wax, tar, bugs, everything except the paint.

I have found that you have to jiggle the nozzle sometimes to get it to engage, after that it is fine. Also, I have used this product since it first came onto the market many years ago and I NEVER had any issues with it hurting the paint. Remember to rinse the soap off with plain water first, then rinse again with the rinse filter engaged. This way you are sure to get all of the soap off and assured to have a clean, shiny, spot free car! It is a great product!

I dont know if there is a reason or not, i use this product on all my cars, i have used it on a blue, red, green, black and white cars in the past, but you with the silver would be the only person to know that, this is a great product to take off resins like as water spots or paint that i have always used it for.

I have not found 303 to be harmful to auto paint but if it gets on paint it may leave a residue. A damp cloth does a good job of getting residue off. I have put 303 on exterior rubber trim around doors with 303 sprayed on a cloth. Also on vinyl dashboards and some interior hard plastic. If there is any residue on paint I wipe it off with a damp cloth. I would not trust getting it on the clear plastic of dash gages and if it does wipe off ASAP.

We used it under the hood of the car, under the frame and on the tires with no problem but did not spray it on any painted surfaces. I don't know if that would cause any damage or not. We chose everywhere we thought might be their path of entry under the vehicle. Our initial damage was over $4100 dollars to our truck that was driven everyday and parked in the driveway overnight. It's worked for us so far. Thank goodness. Good luck.

Mike. I used this product. It is some great paInt. Make sure you acid wash first and prepare the surface or it will peel.

Yes, would be safe. Would not harm hardwood. This is great stuff, and I love the fragrance. If spots in your car mats from dirt, spray, rub gently back and forth, and next day the spot is gone, and you've got the extra - a nice fragrance in your car. Also great for removing those tar spots near the bottom of your car body after it is washed. No, I don't work for the company. I'm just 59 years old, believe in the stuff, and have been using it at least 20 years. I always keep 4 bottles handy.

It can, but I would recommended a different dry chemical for a car shop. Around vehicles, I'd recommend an extinguisher based on potassium bicarbonate, sold under the name "Purple K." It is more effective against liquid fuel (Class B) and electrical (Class C) fires, which is basically what a vehicle fire is. Also, it is less likely to be corrosive. I have a Purple K extinguisher from the same manufacturer in my car. It's what the pros (airport, military, etc) use around vehicles. The extinguisher listed here I got for around the house. It is based on ammonium phosphate, which leaves a film. The film is what makes it "multi-purpose," since it gives it a small Class A (solid fuel) rating, but is probably something you don't want sticking in the little nooks and crannies of a car. Also, it is more likely to be corrosive, being chemically one step away from ammonia.

Chemical guys would say yes it works fine and I know it wouldn't have any bad reactions to salt. I don't have personal experience using it on salt, but I would just use caution as the salt is very abrasive of course and you could mar your paint if there isn't enough product on the paint. Cleaning in the winter can be tricky. Ideally if it's dirty enough you want to rinse the car off first. CG will still say it's fine to use on the salt, I'm just insane like that.

Warning: Do not use it on paint where you have applied a chemical stripper. It will gum up the head.

It's great for washing aluminum wheels, but be careful with painted wheels. As to washing a car, the answer is yes, but also be careful. Make sure you use a nozzle that doesn't concentrate the spray too much. The unit comes with a spread nozzle that fans out the spray to about a 30 degree angle. I'd use that. Also, don't get too close to the car. I'd keep the spray about 12 to 18 inches away from the paint. As they say with most of these things, do a little test on an inconspicuous part of the car. A power washer can do a nice job getting a lot of the dirt off the car, but some good old fashioned elbow grease is the safest way to get a heavily soiled car clean. Hope this helps.

Would NEVER use it on an automobile's painted surface. It's intended for furniture, refrigerators, countertops, cabinets, bathroom fixtures, chrome faucets (I assume old auros' chrome fixtures, too, but wouldn't risk it), woodwork, vinyl, leather, ceramic tILE, and plastic. DO NOT USE ON GRANITE OR STAINLESS STEEL.

Yes it would be safe for a car window but for the price I would go with just an ammonia free glass cleaner for a car. The cost doesn't make it practical for that use. It's specialized for electronic equipment.

I have used this product in my car and on clothing and have had no adverse effects.

I don't think it would be a good idea to have Ro-pel touching any car parts. It might cause corrosion or an undesired chemical reaction.

Don't use it on car paint. I've done it and it ended up taking off top coat and crackling the paint in spots.

Yes, Safe for tinted windows. Doesn't mention any ammonia in product. Contains Water, hydrocarbon blend.Not recommended for surfaces that could be damaged by water or solvents. I've used it for a couple of months now and wouldn't go back to any of my regular glass cleaners.
