Is it totally wrong to use De Beer 1-851 antistatic degreaser on metal and old paint? I bought it from the paint supplier and I notice now on the TDS it is for plastic. I ordered first the 1-951 called silicone remover but it was out of stock so I choice the antistatic degreaser instead the description on the Webb page did not tell the difference. In my mind I can only think it is the anti-static effect that is the big different, I have already painted the car so damage already done.
why not???
:stonedThe only things I can think of that could be a problem are:
-drying: water based cleaners can take a long time to dry, and like to hide wet in cracks and crevices. I usually blow parts dry after cleaning with waterbourne cleaner (which can negate anti-static properties)
-corrosion on bare metal: any wet areas could cause flash rust on bare metal…dry it off quickly and completely on bare metal if you use it
-aggressive to paint/primer: some products such as the Sikkens plastic parts cleaner are super aggressive and can strip 1 part primers. If using a cleaner like this, just be cautious where you are using it, and allow ample flash time before top coating
Thanks guys you are helping a nervous hobby painter, I sure don’t like having problem in near future when the result was very good on the paint job.
