How to Deal with Paint on a Car?

Banana oil. Also known as thinner. Banana oil can be used to dilute paint and also has a good cleaning effect on paint spots. Gasoline is a well-known cleaning agent with good cleaning effects and less corrosive than banana oil. It can be applied by wiping with a damp towel. As a traditional dedicated cleaning agent, it offers good cleaning effects and is also inexpensive. Relatively speaking, it is much more irritating than asphalt cleaner but still has certain cleaning effects. Also known as volcanic mud, it softens after soaking in water for a while. It has extremely strong cleaning power without being corrosive, making it one of the best-performing products.
I usually pay close attention to the exterior of my car. If paint drips onto it—for example, from accidentally parking near a construction site—I address it immediately to prevent spreading. First, I gently scrub the stain with warm water and a soft brush. If that doesn’t work, I apply a dedicated automotive paint remover, let it soften for a few minutes, and then wipe it off with a microfiber cloth. I always wear gloves to avoid allergic reactions. For prevention, I park in clean areas or use a car cover. Waxing the car monthly helps repel water and dirt while extending the paint’s lifespan. Delaying treatment is risky—hardened paint can erode the original coat, potentially leading to costly sanding and repainting, as well as lowering the car’s value. Making it a habit to inspect the body regularly and clean minor stains promptly saves money and ensures peace of mind.
