This was an exterior paint correction/engine detail. Great customer! What's there to say had some really bad swirls and needed to be clayed!

Swissvax Blau Weiss

for me it just makes sense to wear gloves whenever possible. when working with all kinds of chemicals, even if it states that its safe, is it really? whats the harm of extra protection anyways? I also hate having dirty hands cuz sometimes all that gunk is hard to wash off.

Gloveless= Harmful chemicals that can damage your skin, no fingerprints on the car, no scratches done to the car, keeps you hand SOFT. =P

2nd both statements.

another reason you don't want wax on your hands before you clean the interior and then go on to windows, everything will transfer on and what a pain to clean it up.

doing a car on the weekend with no gloves is fine or washing a car, but doing this day in and day out my hands would be dried up and the wife won't like that
