Product Information
Full details
The HB Body 770 Antisil Degreaser is a professional-grade surface preparation agent designed for automotive body shops and DIY restorers who require a pristine substrate before painting or applying fillers. Its key benefit lies in its powerful ability to strip away stubborn oil, grease, silicone, and wax that can cause paint failure; however, users should exercise caution as it is a volatile chemical requiring proper ventilation and protective gear during application.

FAQs
Can I use this on plastic bumpers?
Yes, it is generally safe for automotive plastics, but always test on an inconspicuous spot first to ensure no finish degradation occurs.
Do I need to wash the surface with soap and water first?
Yes, remove heavy dirt and road grime with soap and water, then dry completely before using the Antisil to ensure the chemical can work on trace microscopic contaminants.
How quickly does it evaporate?
The product is designed for rapid evaporation, typically drying within seconds depending on ambient temperature and airflow.
Is this product safe for my skin?
No, you should wear chemical-resistant gloves. Avoid direct skin contact and wash thoroughly if the product touches your skin.
Can I apply this over fresh paint?
It is intended for surface preparation before painting. It is not recommended for use on freshly applied paint as it may soften or damage the uncured finish.
Troubleshooting
Surface remains tacky after wiping
You may be using a cloth that is too saturated or re-depositing contaminants; use a fresh, clean cloth to wipe the surface dry immediately after the initial application.
White residue appears after drying
This may indicate the surface was too warm or you used the product in direct sunlight; clean the area again in a shaded, cooler environment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use the HB Body 770 effectively, ensure the area is well-ventilated to avoid inhaling vapors. Always use fresh, clean microfiber or lint-free paper towels to avoid re-depositing contaminants onto the panel. The product is compatible with most standard automotive paint systems, but it is recommended to test a small, inconspicuous area first if you are unsure of the substrate’s chemical sensitivity. Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and strictly avoid open flames or sparks in the work area. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
