Switching to products that are friendly for the environment, and the user will keep you safe, and reduce your chances of getting into this type of situation.
Most detail shops couldn't meet deadlines without acid-based wheel cleaners and solvents. Yes, there are safer chemicals, but they can double cleaning time.

Wear gloves, work in ventilated areas, and use a respirator when necessary (extended exposure to solvents). You'll be fine, like the 99% of detailers that use these chemicals.

The greatest threats to detailers are sore lower backs and empty wallets.
