I asked a friend who's an "automotive enthusiast" about the "water-based paint" used on EVs. He sent this back as a response: >It sounds very similar to what BMW's gone to. They are water-borne paints, >not water-based. I can't tell you much about the difference other than that >the water-borne paint application process results in much less toxic stuff >going into the environment. Unfortunately, the resulting paint job sucks. >I've read about bird droppings eating through the paint in a matter of >hours. I'd recommend waxing (with real wax, not this "polish" crap) every >1-3 months. So, use that wax folks. Johnson Paste, Mother's Gold, even Zymol if you're up to it! -rick Rick Gordon Bainbridge Island, WA, USA ------------------------------------- rickgo@halcyon.com http://www.halcyon.com/rickgo/ KC7QEG finger for PGP public key fingerprint -------------------------------------
