[TR] Silicon and Paint

[Benjamin Zwissler]

For what's its worth, my paint shop guy said clean up any silcon (Armor
All, DOT5, whatever) before you do any sanding.  He said sanding will push
the silicon into the paint, plastic, etc and then no amount of cleaning
will remove it (barring cleaning to bare metal).  He recommended Dawn
dishwashing detergent.  I did that but it still wasn't sheeting water like
I liked so I followed up with some water soluble parts degreaser from Sam's
Club, then I used Dawn after that again.  Worked great.  I was painting a
TR8 plastic dash that I know had been ArmorAll'd multiple times 'cuz I'd
done it.
