Silicone ruins paint and body work when it is fresh. Considering it takes 3 months for paint to cure, the new Infiniti's you were getting were probably shipped straight from the dealership. So if you got a silicone based product that was strong enough, it could have been baking the paint if it wasn't already protected. Such as wax/teflon/zylon/colinite/whatever Infiniti may use.

I also work as a detailer at a dealership with a body shop. Any new vehicle that may need to be resprayed or any kind of body work, must be washed and made sure NO silicone products are used on the car before it goes in to the body shop. If so, the paint wont adhere, bondo wont adhere, glue wont adhere and so on. It's very touchy.
