I don't know about WD-40 in an auto body shop, but Armor-all is the worst thing to have, followed by any kind of waxing product made for the after market! (Tha's you and me!) Armor-all is a silicone based product, as are lots of car polishes, and the silicone tends to float around the shop, finally contaminating the whole place, if used one time! Then it gets into the paint and finally onto the surface of a freshly painted vehicle, which will turn the painter into a raging bull! How do i know, you ask? I was an auto painter in a combination auto repair/ body shop. I offered to stuff that Armor-all down the throat of the car-cleanup kid, who ignored my instructions not to use it at any time when i was painting, or paint was still drying! The shop boss had to drag me off of him, and then i had to wash off all of the affected paint and do it over! The effect of silicone on the wet paint makes it look like tapioca pudding! And, thats what you will get in your paint, if you use gasoline to do the final wash before you paint! We had a product called "Smoothie", a silicone based product which we would put about 6-10 drops into the paint. This would make the paint compatible with any free silicones floating around, either in the shop, or if some neighbor using armor all outside! by: Rustyj
