If you use any wrong products on the car it may damaged it.
But why should you use it.

Any brushing damages the surfice, what ever it is.

Not really... A good 'safe' solvent and water goes a long ways if done every few days. Of course if you leave it to crust up with grease/brake dust you'll need more...

I saw an F10 on seventeens today and went on 20's it looks right though. Still an ugly-ass front bumper, but at least it has grown on me somewhat.

I also had my first "is that a 5 or a 7" moment today.

Just a fun-filled day
