Car detail shop

[hhsting]

I have car detail shop for detailing cars. The detail shop is part of car wash station. Does NEC 2014 cover car detail shop?

What is your reasoning for thinking it might not?

I assume it would be cover under paint booth section? I looked but didn’t find so I don’t know

I misunderstood the question. You are asking if there is a specific section for this. I thought you were asking if it would fall under NEC requirements in general.

It would depend if flammable chemicals were being used, ventilation and other factors. If so, it would be treated as any other hazardous location.

How can a car wash detail station be considered a hazardous location, it’s a car wash? Car wash detail stations do not use paint, just cleaning products, elbow grease, and TLC for car

Key word “Cleaning products” they may or may not use flammable products, and it may or not be in an enclosed room. We don’t have enough information to determine what type of operation it is.

If cleaning products equals haz-loc then the whole continent is about to get turned on its ear.

I guess I'm going to have to document air changes in my laundry room now.

Not talking about regular household cleaning chemicals, some detailers use the same chemicals the body shops do to restore the finish or remove contaminants on the paint. This has not been clarified by the op.
