    Ah, didn`t know about the "add Xylene", thanks for posting that.

    Yeah, New Car Prep may just be a very safe product to apply. I still have some left
    Treat it like it`s the only one in the world.

    Valugard New Car Prep is a unique solvent blend, using as it`s base a special non-combustible-non-flammable blend of solvents. These solvents, to my knowledge, are not available to the consumer market. As such, DYI folks have to use the safest solvent which is Mineral Spirits. One may bump up it up by adding a small percentage of the aromatic Xylene, just be sure to wear chemical proof gloves when using. When we submitted it to Ford`s World Health and Safety Lab for approval, which they approved, it blew the lab chemists minds at the time.

    It got it`s 1st wash today. I can see it what appears to be water spots but it`s gotta be the same corrosion protection we speak out. A call to the horses mouth, Xpel, on what to use on their film . They only advise was to of course use their product, so off a bottle I buy to see what it is...
