How to Remove White Paint from a Black Car?

Use regular toothpaste to treat the issue by gently applying it in circular motions over the scratched area. This method usually helps reduce the visibility of scratches and can also act as a temporary barrier, preventing rust in the short term, especially for white paint, where the effect is most noticeable. If the scratch shows signs of rust, immediate action is required to prevent the rust spots from expanding. To prevent rust, use sandpaper to clean the area or apply a chemical rust converter. Car paint maintenance tips: 1. Whenever possible, park your car indoors and avoid prolonged exposure to strong sunlight or rain. 2. Avoid washing your car with cold water immediately after it has been exposed to intense sunlight or after the engine has just stopped running, as rapid cooling can damage the paint surface. Never rinse the engine directly. 3. Do not dry-wipe the car, as small particles of sand may scratch the paint. Always rinse with water first. 4. Promptly remove fallen leaves, tree resin, bird droppings, and other contaminants from the car body to prevent paint corrosion.
Last time I got white paint splashes on my black car, I used automotive-specific stain remover to solve it. First, test a small spot in an inconspicuous area, wait 10 minutes to observe the reaction. If there's no issue, then apply it to the stained area and gently wipe with a clean towel. Don't rub too hard to avoid scratching the paint, and remember to wear gloves and ensure good ventilation during operation. After completion, rinse off any residue with water, then apply wax to restore the shine. Remember, if the stain is fresh, it's best to deal with it early to prevent the white paint from drying and hardening, making it harder to remove. I usually wash my car regularly to prevent similar issues, and keeping a small stain removal paste in the car for emergencies is quite convenient.
