I totally agree Roy.

My wording might have been a little poor but was suggesting removal of
that type of product in case it had already been applied to the
backside of the panels in question.

In my case, I'd sprayed Fluid Film on the backside of panels months
before finding a failing seam and repairing it. Some time after, when
the bus was parked with that panel toward the sun, the Fluid Film
crept out and stained the paint.

I had good intentions, but made a rookie mistake.     ;)
Which is too bad because the repair turned out well otherwise.
