I happened to drop in on my buddy who has be doing dealer preps for over 20 years on a CTS coupe and what shocked me after washing the car with Meg's Gold Class soap the Pearl White was still dirty with tar, sap and what not, he pull out a can of Easy-Off oven cleaner and sprayed the whole can all around the panels and grime and dirt literally started raising onto the foam dripping off the paint in front of me, hose it all off with a jet gun and the paint was as smooth as a baby's butt and then in it goes into the show room with a quick pass of Opti-Wax. He tells me that is what dealers get when they pay $30 for a quick wash and prep usually gets this cheap and effective treatment ...LoL



Anyone seen this or used this before ? ...LoL

No joke in fact it worked out beautifully on the demo Caddy CTS Coupe in Pearl White with only 3500kms on it, he details and preps Caddys and Saabs all day long, so it goes to show the confidence he has in this method ! It doesn't harm the clearcoat as long it is the original paint and it doesn't stay on until it dries. Basically if it does not hurts the enamel on your appliances it won't hurt the paint of your car, he tells me to avoid putting too much on the rubber seals. As well detailing products for mags use much more harsh acids that get oversprayed onto the paint. I like to think of this oven cleaner solution as a cheap and dirty degreasing/claying/decontaminating process all in one that take less than a minute to apply and remove and for $3/can it is well worth results it provides !
 
I think a true decon system would be cheaper per use and safer for the paint.
 
As long as you're quick with it and get it off ASAP without letting it even come close to drying on the paint, I'd bet it wouldn't much risk. None the less, I wouldn't try it, but I can see how it would work.
 
OMG! I don't even know where to start on this one.... Look up the active ingredients in oven cleaner... basically paint stripper... This is why I refuse to purchase a new car that has been "prepped".



Chemical Name: Diethylene glycol monobutyl ether - Basically brake fluid.

Chemical Name: Sodium hydroxide - Basically paint stripper... yes it is used in some auto finish care products, but at extremely LOW concentrations.

Chemical Name: Monoethanolamine (MEA) - More paint stripper.



It is not even an acidic product, it's very caustic. Like drain cleaner. An automotive finish decontamination system is an acid-based product.
 
I don't doubt this works, and frankly I'd be willing to bet it doesn't negatively effect paint if removed promptly... however;

^^^^ Agreed.
 
After a little research, Butoxydiglycol, being one of the active ingredients, I haven't researched the other or their combination, in the fume free formula, to say it is safe. But Butoxydiglycol is a main ingredient in Armor All Triple Action wheel cleaner, Oomph APC, along with some 'cosmetics'?



Health concerns seems minimal, if there is such a thing with such products.



To say it is safe for paint is another question to be answered.







Water -Diluent

Butoxydiglycol -Solvent

Isobutane -Propellant

Potassium Carbonate Cleaning Agent - Alkalinity

Ethanolamine -pH Adjuster

Paraffin Wax -Wax

Magnesium Aluminum Silicate -Thickener

Sodium Lauryl Sarcosinate -Cleaning Agent

Fragrance -Fragrance

Propane -Propellant
 
All oven cleaners are not the same, some are very gentle (too gentle to clean ovens all that effectively, that's for sure!) and I do wonder just how the milder ones compare to something highly alkaline like AutoInt/ValuGard's "A" :think: But I myself would rather use the "A" or FK1119.
