would this also work on auto body material

If the material is steel it will cut it. I imagine it would also cut any metal that can conduct electricity although I hear that cutting aluminum requires the use of a gas or gas mix rather than compressed air to blow the slag out of the cut for a cleaner cut. You could still use compressed air but the cut will need refining more. The main issue with this cutter is that you must have a compressed air source with enough PSI and tank volume to keep up with the cutter. I got a DeWalt 200 PSI air compressor, I think it was 1.5 HP, to work with the cutter. Also, the air has to be dry. So I had to buy a dessicator to run the air through to give me very dry air. That cost me about $500. New compressor was about $250-300. Cutter itself is $1,500 so total is a little over $2,000. BUT it has made cutting steel SO MUCH EASIER. Just did a project that required many small holes in 3/16" steel angle iron. It would have taken me days and easily more than a dozen drill bits and messy oil, etc. to cut all those holes. Plasma cutter can cut each hole in about 3 seconds. i cut them all in a about 30 minutes.

works extremely well on thin sheet metal, doesn't burn off the paint and won't warp what you're cutting

The Airforce 500i easily cuts auto body sheet metal. Paint and auto body filler may interfere with maintaining a good plasma arc, but the thickness of auto body sheet metal is well below the cutter's capacity.

Dr. Ann, I think this would work fine on applying and buffing off car polish. I used it to buff off wood floor wax on a butcher block table top. Use one pad to apply and a different one to buff. Thanks,John

I would not use this product on metal. Use a spray vanish on small items But, on the car just use auto wax.

It should. I used it on the fender flares on my Jeep CJ which is similar material and it works well. I use a fresh sponge brush when reapplying to other areas.

should work very well. Used it in my body shop for years' just make sure the surface is clean. I found it works best if you clean with isopropel alcahol.

Yes it can, it works great for car windows as well as the body - wipe it on, wait a minute, then wipe it off. Best stuff we've ever used.

I used oi I used it on my trunk where there is shiny black plastic. It worked well for !e.

No. It is designed for gel coat finishes on boats and RVs. Use their auto was.

I would imagine it would. It's undercoating, that's what many use the product on their vehicles for.

Yes this would work great it looks good and I like to use it on cars and motorcycles.

I don't think so, it only works on smooth surface like auto paints and bicycle.

Hi Charlie, Great question! The answer is yes it will work on flexible parts (bumpers etc)that are the same color as the rest of the body. This means it has base color and clear coat just like the rest of the metal parts of the vehicle.

I use this on plastic and rubber skid plates on motor home so I guess the answer would be definitely.

I don't see any reason why it wouldn't, as long as the cars are made of a magnetic metal. Aluminum is a non-magnetic metal. If the cars are aluminum, it won't work.

Sure you can use it on a white car, or any color car. What I use it for is for removing tree sap, bugs, bird droppings, etc. that wind up getting on the car in between thorough cleaning and detailing.

I have used it on sofa chairs and fabric car seats and have been very impressed. It's worth a try.

Heck yeah you could and I have. It works on anything vinyl/plastic though it might make it greasy. I would suggest armor all on something like that.
