Can Alcohol Corrode Car Paint?
1 Answers
Alcohol can corrode car paint as it is an organic solvent. Frequently using alcohol to clean your car can damage the paint. While occasionally using alcohol to remove small stains is acceptable, it is crucial to rinse the area with water immediately afterward to prevent the paint from becoming dull or corroded. Additionally, when driving, vehicles often accumulate tiny, visible or invisible sand particles. Directly wiping the car with alcohol can cause scratches. Therefore, it is recommended to first rinse the car with clean water, apply car wash soap, rinse again, and then dry. For stubborn stains, it is advisable to use a dedicated automotive adhesive remover.
