How to Clean Spray Paint Off a Car?

Methods to clean spray paint off a car: 1. Spray paint remover on the affected area. Paint remover is a liquid that quickly dissolves paint, effectively removing paint stains from the car; 2. Let it sit for five minutes to allow the paint remover to fully react with the spray paint on the car; 3. Finally, use a cloth to wipe off the spray-painted area on the car. When washing the car, avoid using high water pressure as it can impact the paint layer and cause damage. It's also not advisable to wash the car too frequently—washing it 2 to 3 times a week is sufficient, as frequent washing can accelerate paint oxidation.
When I first got spray paint on my car, I was quite anxious, worried it might ruin the nice paintwork. I started by gently rubbing with a damp cloth, but it didn't help. Then I tried a home remedy—dabbing some alcohol-soaked cotton on the paint spot, letting it dissolve for a few seconds before gently wiping in circles with a soft sponge. Taking it slow is key; too much force can leave scratches. Fresh spray paint is easier to remove within the first hour. If it's already dry, use automotive paint remover spray, wait patiently for a few minutes, then wipe clean with a soft cloth. Finally, remember to rinse thoroughly and apply some wax to protect the paint. Once, I messed up—some paint spots remained and left marks, forcing me to spend money on professional polishing at a car wash. It's best to avoid parking near construction zones to prevent this hassle.
