Can this be used on car body paint? If not, what product would you recommend?

I would ask a car dealer or body shop or even a Pep Boys... because I do not know! Or try inside door where the paint is and see what happens...

Should be no problem. I have been using this wax since the early 60s on many different cars and paints. I wax my car in the spring and the fall and it has always lasted 6 months. I would be surprised if you were not happy with this product.

It can be applied by spy, maybe a brush, dipping works great! Now they are using it to spray on wheels, truck bumpers, bottom of cars etc. It is removable by peeling it off.

Never tried that so really don't know. I think this wax is primarily for use on painted surfaces. I use Armorall for my plastic trim.

I used it for automotive paint. That was the sole purpose of my purchase. It covered a small area with every spray. Do not rush to paint your car right away. Practice how to control the airbrush before painting directly on your car. Keep the airbrush absolutely clean with passion. A little lapse in diligence can cause a great deal of trouble. Follow this advice religiously. No kidding. Buy a set of cleaning brushes. This is where the work is. Painting is over in just a few seconds. Adjusting the fluid viscosity is almost impossible in words. You just have to find your rope by trial and error. Good luck.

This is a synthetic polymer (no carnuba wax in it) spray wax/sealant, that is a very good product for any color vehicle, and very easy to use. I would also recommend Meguiars DA finishing wax. Although intended for use with a Dual Action (DA) polisher, it works great by hand as we'll. It contains polymers plus carnuba, plus silicones and is my favorite "wax" of the vehicle's paint is in good condition to start with. If not, you will need to use a polish first.

It doesn't have abrasive powder and is safe to use on almost any car paint. Just use a microfiber towel or pad to apply and remove and it should be protected without removing any of the clear coat.

I would not use this for the car. It's great for wood and stucco or fence board using latex paint where it's intended and designed for. I have not tried painting a car and in my opinion would not look the finish you're looking for based on painting rough redwood fence, storage shed and a door.

I would use the specially formulated paint products for rust repair. Unless you just want to experiment? If so, good luck, let us know how it goes? When I repair rust on my car it is so much work I would never use a product made for a completely different purpose. But hey, if it's an art car or something? Have at it.

Depends. If it is a little light overspray from some careless work, you ought to be able to work it out with this product. I have had excellent success with this myself. If someone has actually sprayed auto paint directly on your car, this is not what you want. You need to sand it down, prime, and repaint. You're screwed.

I wouldn't. You will never get it to wash off. The "soft body" means the viscosity of the paint. It has nothing to do with using it on skin. The paint you need is "washable paint." They sell a kit on Amazon; http://www.amazon.com/Love-Is-Art-Canvas-Paint/dp/B005PR28AS

I emailed Meguires about a paint job on my older Ford Explorer. Seems that the body shop used a cheap clear coat over the base coat and began to haze prematurely. I suspected the clear coat was sprayed on too thin. I live in the southwest and auto paint is subject to harsh summer heat. I asked the shop to spray four clear coats but I'm sure they didn't and used some cheap stuff because paint failure happens after a couple of years but anyway, The customer care guys at Meguires suggested I use this product with a grey foam pad( I used a yellow) and my car looked like new after I finished it. The oxidized paint came right off. I also put the synthetic sealer soon afterwards and even left that on overnight to bind with the paint. You really dont need to polish your car often if you wash it by hand using a microfiber wash cloth and Meguires car wash then spray on the synthetic detailer (while car is still wet) dry off with a dry microfiber cloth. The polish is only to SLICK UP THE FINISH. Sometimes the birds get to my car and I polish that off after the hand wash but once the suface is slick and sealed, evrything will wash right off. You are right though, you go polish off some of the paint when you do this so go easy, low RPM on your rotary polisher,light pressure and remember to seal it up ! this stuff really worked well for me, I used a Dewalt rotary polisher that I purchased here on Amazon for about $150.00 a year ago. The rotary polisher is a little more difficult to use than the orbital(much lower oscillations per second) and you might want to consider that first. I have seen those at Harbour Freight Sales for about $25.00. I hope that helps !

I'm not sure how safe it is on products that aren't "painted". On a side note, I don't really recommend this product at all. I had it on a Black Tahoe and to me, it didn't help. Waxing would've been better. Everytime I ran through the carwash or handwashed my rig, if I didn't instantly towel dry I ended up with tons of spots.

I haven't, but considering it's ink designed for use on paper, I doubt it'd work as well as paint made for cars. It washes off pretty easily from non-porous surfaces, and the colors don't really show up well unless they're on a white background.

I would not suggest using this product or the nail polish. I would recommend using products made for metal/cars.

Hi, It might work, but I don't know what it will do to the car's finish. A water-soluble paint thinner is probably a better answer. Sap can harden to the point where it can scratch the finish if you remove it early. Let it soften, then wipe it off with a soft cloth. You'll want to wax the car afterwards to protect the finish as the solvents will eat the wax that was there.

I'm a professional detailer and must say I'm not a big fan of the "red bottle", I have used Meguiar's Ultimate Quick Detailer many times and find it to be really good but if you want the best of the best for the same money you gotta try Duragloss Aquawax which is really a spray sealant, it will leave your paint very slick, I always use it on my customers cars before they pick it up, you can buy it here at Amazon, please trust me when I say it's the best. Here's the link. http://www.amazon.com/Duragloss-951-Automotive-Aquawax-oz/dp/B002W0YBWE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1396914661&sr=8-1&keywords=Duragloss+Aquawax
