Water is used all over the place in both rust treatment products and paint itself these days. I think all European car manufacturers have to use water based paint...

I do, however, share your concerns about blasting spot welded structures with high pressure water. That's why I'd never pressure wash a car.

You guys in the states have way better paint stripping products than we do over here - probably because of the European regulations.
