Will Alcohol Damage Car Paint?

Alcohol can cause some damage to car paint. As alcohol is a strong solvent, it can make the paint surface appear matte, thereby losing the gloss of the car paint. It is recommended to dilute alcohol with water when washing the car to avoid harming the paint. Here are some car cleaning precautions: 1. The longer substances like salt, dust, insects, bird droppings, etc., remain on the car, the more damaging they can be. Clean them promptly. 2.
