Rain X on paint work...?

[banderson]

Morning all,
just wondering if someone could clear something up for me, I was out putting rain x on my windows last night (will upgrade to gtechniq g1 when I run out) but spilt a bit down my mirror and paintwork.

It says on the back 'do not use on plastic, painted parts etc etc' but I can't see it harming it. But can someone confirm this

Btw i found out that its amazing at removing polish stains on plastics :rasp: Haha and now my mirror beads well! Lol

I'd always follow the instructions on the back tbh mate. It must be for a reason.

 

[Gally]

Not sure if serious mate.

just to show how unfriendly this stuff is, I used a meguiars foam applicator to apply it to my shower screen recently, didn't bother rinsing it out as was going to use it again later in the day.

Later that day went to use it again and the foam applicator was crumbling and breaking up in my hand

LOL!

Seriously, don't. It'll haze and etch into your paint and you'll never get it out.

If they wanted you to use it on paint, they would say.

Even if it wasn't ideal, they still would to sell more as a universal sealant.

That must say something in itself.

They're lying.

The wax and sealant industry will crumble soon... you watch.

Thanks for making me hungry.

But yeah, not sure if SRS.

Crumble?

Apple or rhubarb?

I'm not asking if I can USE it on my paint!! Lol I'm saying I spilt a bit down my mirror and door, (were taking a dribble here) whilst putting it on my applicator (wiped it dry straight away) but wanted to know if it would be okay to just leave or wether to polish glaze wax it again.

But as you say it's harmful stuff, it'll be getting wash again tonight! Rained all night anyways.

Crumble?

Apple or rhubarb?

Pah, apple of course! With lumpy custard. Just like grandpa liked it!

 

[Chip-mk1]

Why did you not just rinse it off while it was still wet?

 

[banderson]

It rained as soon as I finished the windows lol and I did wipe it off straight away. But it's invisible on your windows so what chance did I have of seeing what's left on the paintwork? Lol

This remnds me of an old mate who accidently got a bit of Autoglym plastic and bumper restorer on his paitwork and liked how it made the paint all bluey/greeny/sparkly.....

Anyone remember the autoglym stuff? Its a thick green silicone paste. Horrible stuff.

Well he did his whole car. Every single bit apart from the windows. Looked fcuking hilarious 24 hours later when flies/dust/bits of grass etc were stuck all over it.

Mong.

 

[banderson]

Lol, are you implying that, I'm a mong Daniel?

 

[Chapppers11]

FLOL Dan, they still sell that stuff, AF Bumper Care at a guess..

Also known as troll phlegm.

A harsh soap (maybe even fair liquid) and warm water. Make sure it's off.

Etching is not cool.

 

[Cliotoby]

Crumble?

Apple or rhubarb?

God dammit.

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

LOLWut ?

 

[Cliotoby]

I like apple pie.

 

[JD]

I bet you do. PM me your number and I might text you.

Done the same today. Wiped it straight off but just to be safe - anyone fancy giving a straight answer?

Sorry I don't know the answer

 

[VXR killer]
