Section 1. Identification
1.1 Product Identifier
CAR GUYS Liquid Wax
1.2 Relevant Identified uses of the substance or mixture and uses advised against
Identified uses: A full synthetic polymer paint sealant. A pad-applied, buff-off durable base layer designed for application 1–2 times per year, providing long-lasting UV protection and hydrophobic water beading. Can be used as a stand-alone sealant or as a base layer underneath CAR GUYS Hybrid Wax. Compatible with hand application and machine application (orbital polisher with foam finishing pad). Safe on paint (all coated/clear-coated finishes including coated matte, satin, and denim), glass, windows, rims, chrome, metals, aluminum, glossy/painted plastic parts in good condition (headlights, taillights), clear bra/PPF (all brands), fiberglass, carbon fiber, ceramic coatings, and single-stage paint. Also safe for boats, RVs, motorcycles, stainless steel appliances, and granite countertops.
Uses advised against: Do not apply to raw/unfinished plastic, raw/unfinished rubber, decals, uncoated matte finishes, window trim, unfinished bumpers, fabric, or upholstery (may leave white residue or cause discoloration). Do not apply over existing wax, sealant, or polish without stripping first (the only exception is ceramic coating). Do not apply to fresh paint within 30 days of a paint job unless the body shop confirms infrared cure.

Section 4. First Aid Information
4.1 If inhaled
If affected, remove individual to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If breathing has stopped, give artificial respiration. Keep person warm, calm, and get medical attention.
4.2 In case of skin contact
Flush exposed area with water. Remove all contaminated clothing. Prolonged or repeated contact can cause moderate irritation.
4.3 In case of eye contact
Flood with large amounts water at least 20 min.; get immediate medical attention if irritation persists. Can cause irritation, redness, tearing, and blurred vision.
4.4 If swallowed
If swallowed, induce vomiting. Vomiting can be induced with syrup of Ipecac. Give fluids until the vomitus is clear. Get medical attention.
Section 5. Fire Fighting Measures
5.1 Flash Point
200°F
5.2 Autoignition Temperature
Not determined
5.3 Flammability Limits in Air
Not determined
5.4 Extinguishing media
Carbon dioxide (CO2) water spray. Dry chemical foam can be used to cool fire-exposed containers.
5.5 Fire Fighting Procedure
Self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing should be worn in fighting fires involving chemicals. Evacuate area in case of overheating or fire. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Static electricity will accumulate and may ignite vapors.
5.6 Hazardous Decomposition Products
May form toxic material, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, various hydrocarbons, etc.
Section 6. Accidental Release Measures
6.1 Containment/Clean Up
Sections 13 and 15 of this MSDS provide information regarding certain Federal and local requirements. Collect for disposal. Clean up remaining materials from spill with suitable absorbent. For large spills provide diking or other appropriate containment to keep material from spreading. If diked material can be pumped, store recovered material in appropriate container. Clean area as appropriate as some silicone material, even in small quantities, may present a slip hazard. Final cleaning may require steam, solvents or detergents. Observe all personal protection equipment recommendations described in Sections 5 and 8 of this MSDS. Observe all Federal and government regulations that may apply to the cleanup of this material.
Section 7. Handling and Storage
7.1 Handling (Personnel)
Avoid contact with strong oxidizing agents. Spilled substance increases risk of slippage.
7.2 Storage
Keep container tightly closed.
Section 8. Exposure Controls and Personal Protection
8.1 Engineering Controls
Local Exhaust: Provide sufficient mechanical (general and/or local exhaust) ventilation to maintain exposure below TLV(s).
General exhaust: Recommended
8.2 Personal Protective Equipment for Routine Handling
Eyes: Use proper protection – safety glasses as a minimum. An emergency eye wash station should be accessible to the work area.
Skin: Washing at meal time and end of shift is adequate.
Suitable Gloves: butyl rubber protection gloves
Inhalation: If spraying or other operations that generate an aerosol mist are conducted, respiratory protection for exposed personnel is recommended.
Precautionary Measures: Avoid eye contact.
