Silicone acts as a lubricant to repel moisture and is very difficult to wash off. This is why most good quality body shops always sand the paint prior to repainting the vehicle for better paint adhesion." So all they have to do is sand prior to painting and all is well. Which they should be doing anyway. shawn
