If they were doing paint touch up, you'd still want to at least run acetone or laquer thinner before painting, so they were either dumb or ignorant to paint prep. their claim was incorrect !

The only "wax" that body shops hate are teflon based products, of which nothing sticks very well to, but again , thats in regard to applying teflon based "wax" to their freshly painted , cured paints...they don't want the teflon to be airborne around their paint booths, etc.
Well, this was late 80's when this happened and I think the crap I was using was in a bright green bottle "formula" something comes to mind.
Anyway, just found this tidbit on the interweb:
"There are some sources that even go so far to say that silicones are harmful to paint. This is not only dishonest; it calls into question the credibility of that resource and any and all claims they make. Silicone is inert. It cannot harm paint, let alone anything else it is formulated into, or sitting on top of, especially in the form of a coating of wax."
Guess I just learned something today, thanks for the input.

And Weehooker, I apologize for the threadjack.
