How to Remove Spray Paint from a Car?

Methods to remove spray paint from a car: 1. Use olive oil. If you have olive oil at home, apply some to the painted area of the car and gently rub it a few times. Let it soak for a while, then wash it off with soap after a few minutes. This method helps avoid skin irritation. 2. Use floral water. If you can't find olive oil, apply floral water to the painted area, wait for a while, and then wash it off with soap. 3. Use peanut oil or salad oil. If neither of the above options is available, use peanut oil or salad oil. Rub it on the painted area, add some dish soap, and scrub. Finally, wipe it off with a cloth, and the paint will be removed.
Last time, a few drops of spray paint accidentally splashed onto my car roof, and it was quite a hassle to deal with. At first, I tried scrubbing hard with a wet cloth, but it was completely ineffective—the paint spots were hard and firmly stuck. Later, an experienced mechanic suggested using industrial alcohol with cotton balls to gently wipe them off. This worked for small spots, but larger ones were still tough. The most effective solution was a specialized paint remover from a car detailing shop. After spraying it and waiting three minutes, the paint softened and wrinkled, allowing it to be easily scraped off with a plastic scraper. Whatever you do, don’t use steel wool or scrub forcefully—my neighbor ended up scratching his clear coat and had to repaint the area. After removing the paint spots, remember to apply a coat of car wax immediately to protect the paint.
