Silicones

["Laurie and Clint Carter" <Laurielu@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Not only are they not good for vinyl, if you're doing any body work, keep silicones out of your prep area, as silicones cause "fish eyes" in your new paint job.

I agree with Mike in that silicones are not great for vinyl either. In fact, even though they make stuff shine, they really are not the preferred treatment for anything. I will plead guilty about having used products containing them now and then. It is hard not to since nearly everything contains them these days. The more expensive stuff tends to contain better ingredients.
