Does Alcohol Damage Car Paint?
1 Answers
Alcohol can indeed cause some damage to car paint. As a strong organic solvent, alcohol has the ability to dissolve paint. The paint used on car bodies is not significantly different from regular paint, so using alcohol to clean your car can cause some harm to the paint surface. Although alcohol evaporates quickly, over time you may notice a difference in gloss between areas cleaned with alcohol and other parts of the car. When there are substances on the car body that cannot be removed with water, car owners can use specialized car cleaning agents. Simply add a small amount to water, mix it, and then wipe the car.
