How to Remove Sunscreen Stains from Car Interior?
2 Answers
Sunscreen stains on car interior can first be treated with automotive-specific cleaning agents for wiping. If the effect is unsatisfactory, you may try using essential balm for cleaning by applying it directly to the stained area. Alternatively, makeup remover can also be attempted for cleaning. Below are some additional methods for dealing with car scratches: 1. Use a cloth with minimal water and apply moderate force during wiping to avoid damaging the paint; 2. You may first try polishing with wax, preferably automotive beauty wax. For polishing, it is not recommended to do it yourself as it requires a certain level of skill to avoid damaging the paint; 3. For deeper and more stubborn marks, a polishing machine may be necessary to avoid excessive manual scrubbing. If wax is not available, mildly abrasive toothpaste can be tried, which can easily remove minor marks.
Last time I came back from camping, I also got sunscreen in the car, and it took me quite a while to clean it up. First, you need to check what material the interior is made of. For plastic or leather, use a damp towel with a little dish soap to gently wipe. For fabric, it's a bit more troublesome—you'll need to spray some interior cleaner. Remember, never use a cleaner with bleach, as it can discolor the surface. If it's genuine leather seats, it's best to apply some leather conditioner after cleaning, otherwise they can easily dry out and crack. It's always handy to keep a foam cleaner in the car—it's especially effective for oily stains like sunscreen. The easiest way is to wipe it off immediately before it dries. Also, using wet wipes to clean your hands after applying sunscreen before getting in the car can help keep the interior cleaner.
