    PPE for Meguiars D140 Wheel Brightener

    I always use gloves when detailing and have been using a 3m particle mask 8511 for bad interiors and non-acid wheel cleaners. I picked up some D140 only for the most neglected wheels. Should a respirator be used with D140, vapor and particle? Or will my 3m particle mask be ok so I'm not...
