How to Remove Red Cloth Dye Stains from Car Doors?
2 Answers
New cars often have red cloth decorations that may bleed color, especially during rainy weather, staining parts of the car's paint. This is particularly noticeable on light-colored paint. Here are several methods to clean these stains: 1. Natural Waiting: It's generally recommended to remove the red cloth. If staining has already occurred, don't panic. Wait a few days for the stained area to fade naturally. 2. Automotive Cleaner: Use a professional automotive cleaner, which can be purchased online or at auto supply stores. Spray the cleaner directly onto the stained area and then wipe it off. 3. 4S Shop or Car Wash: Visit a 4S shop or car wash for polishing. Using a polishing machine yields good results, but it may cause some damage to the paint as polishing reduces the paint's thickness. Regular maintenance is also important to protect the car's paint. Methods such as waxing or applying protective films can help preserve the paint.
The other day my car door also got stained by the red cloth. I tried using dish soap with warm water, and it worked pretty well. Take a soft cloth dipped in the soapy water and gently wipe the area - remember to use light motions to avoid scratching the paint. If there are still marks, you can try alcohol swabs, which are available at pharmacies. However, I should remind you to test a small inconspicuous area on the door first to see if it damages the paint. It's best to deal with such staining issues on the same day, as they become harder to clean if left for too long. Finally, wipe it clean with water and apply some car wax for protection - the marks will basically become invisible.
