Turtle Wax Ice

[Paul Payne]

Has anyone used this after final paint polishing? I have heard some car waxes don't play well with styrene.

i'd check the ingredients for silicones. When i worked in bodyshops we never used any turtle wax products as they were guarenteed to cause reactions. I'm not saying dont use it, just dot use it near where your building/painting as once its dry the polish dust spreads widely due to the very fine grains. Since you've already polished, a detailer spray might be more effective

Les, thanks for the info. I may experiment on a piece of scrap before using it on a model.

If used after final paint polishing silicone will not cause problems.  It is absolutely safe for plastic and for hardened/dry paint. But generally I would avoid silicone anywhere near my hobby workshop  or paint booth, because even the smallest amount on the surface of items being painted will cause fish-eyes. 

So from that angle I would stay away from any silicone-containign products on my hobby  workbench.
