Will this ruin the underlying paint or plastic its applied to?

Not that I've noticed. I used this primer for laying out some di-noc carbon fiber wrap on some panels on my Honda Shadow VLX, and as long as I heated the vinyl and primer and peeled it....no paint came off. I also used it to help led strips adhere to some surfaces on my Suzuki Boulevard C50, (had 3m double sided tape, just used the primer to make sure they stuck)....apply a little heat and slowly peel. You could also use alcohol to soften the primer.

No. I actually used it on plastic and it made it a bit worse and don't use Meguiar's plastx it can ruin plastic too. If they are light scratches the best thing I found, especially for dark plastics, is Meguiar's Deep Crystal Carnuba Wax. It does not get rid of the scratches but it does help make them a bit less noticeable.

i used acetone sparingly and got the goo off without damaging the adapter. BUT, handle acetone carefully and use it at your own risk as it will damage many paints and plastics. on my eneloop adapters it did not seem to do any damage.

BPA and phthalates are plastic additives. PVC is "plastic." Since this is an aluminum rail, you don't have to worry. The paint may be a different story.

Says on bottle "Contact with clothing, carpet, fabric, painted wood surfaces or paper may cause discoloration or damage." It's says to rise off with water after using. This is a very strong chemical and removes the worst mold. But I would test on a small area first just to make sure. Or would try diluting the chemical first with 1 part water/1 part chemical (50/50) and use the entire bottle to lessen its discoloration effects and drench the affected areas, then increase chemical in case you see no results. DO NOT MIX WITH AMMONIA.

I have used this product for probably close to 20 years on many different types of RC cars and I have never seen it affect the plastic. I have had to clean the motor still attached to my electric RC cars and the CRC runs all over the cases and arms and it is never made anything Bridle or even discolored it. This includes the cheap Tamaya type plastic and several different types of nylon blend plastic. I have used it to clean oil residue off of lexan and it has not discolored it at all. I cannot guarantee it on other types of plastic though. Hope this helps you a little and good luck.

It depends on the type of plastic, but yes, most plastics will either dissolve or be otherwise damaged by acetone.

I wrapped all plastic/rubber areas with a plastic cover just in case. However I didn't see any damage to the plastic itself. Just make sure water don't touch the treated area.

Don't know. My concern is not if it will dissolve the paint, it would be if it would damage the shoe. It is great stuff all around, so I might pick it up and try on a tiny section of the least valuable shoe. Let it sit for a minute, then check surface. For example with plastics, it will start to dissolve the plastic, so it will cause a haze on the surface. (nifty way to get "frosted" plastic lenses). Sorry I can't be more help.

Yes, If applied correctly it will "kill" the rust, thereby stop the spreading of rust. It will NOT stop other, surrounding, areas from rusting. Only properly treated areas will have protected, rust free metal. Top coating with a quality paint is essential.

I have no experience using this product on a plastic so I can't really help you on this question

No. All of the contact points with the car are padded, so it doesn't damage the paint.

Jason I would try the best I could to keep it off rubber and plastic parts. If you accidentally get some of this solvent on any rubber or plastic parts simply wipe it off.

If the plastic is painted it should. If the color is enbedded in the plastic I don't think so.

You would have to use a paint product made specifically for plastic. Other types of paint would easily peel off.

No because the clamp is plastic and the cable are metal. If you clamp it tight enough it does not rub and does not damage the paint, at least so far.

I wouldn't recommend using it on painted surfaces, since its a polish it is also an abrasive and will end up removing a little bit of material to achieve the finish you desire. During this process it will probably remove some paint. As for the coated plastics, it depends on what the coating is. I used it for clear polycarbonate, the face of an older iPod that I needed to be cleaned up. To be on the safe side I would only use this on material that is one color, clear, white, etc. with no paint or coatings.
