Hi @all,
as we know some CarPro products are made of/contain nano sized anorganic silica particles. Now I am not worried about the initial application of the products, I am more worried about polishing a cquartz coated paint or byproducts by natural abrasivements from the coated leather seats. As far as I know anorganic silica can get trapped deep in your lungs and stay there. The end result - possibly - is silicosis.
Maybe I am exaggerating, but within polishing a paint there usually is dust around due to abrasion. Now in case of an car coated with cquartz the polishing dust will contain anorganic silica - which is definitely not a good thing.
I don't know about the leather or fabric coating - but I assume due to natural abrasivement there's a possibility of releasing silica compounds into the air. Especially in my case as I have a small dog who "scratches" the seat with his paws - and later on burries his nose on or in them. I'm not a chemist so I can't add any proof to my theory - all I can say is I am in love with CarPro products. They perform amazingly good and have replaced everything I have used in the past. They are really cheap for their performance and quality. But there's this potential downside in using them.
I would like to hear your thoughts about that topic.
greets,
Alex
