What to Do If Paint Drips on the Car?

The solutions for paint drips on the car are: 1. Use a hot towel or a hair dryer to heat the adhesive, then wipe it off with a wet towel; 2. Soak a cloth with essential balm and use it to clean the adhesive in a clockwise circular motion; 3. For larger areas or stubborn adhesives, use a car-specific adhesive remover. Car paint is a protective film sprayed on the car, which helps prevent corrosion. Its performance characteristics include: 1. Good fullness, high gloss, high hardness, and strong adhesion; 2. Excellent mechanical properties; 3. Good gloss retention and wear resistance; 4. Excellent resistance to acids, alkalis, alcohol, and gasoline.
Yesterday, white paint from construction dripped onto my car roof, and I rushed to the car wash immediately. Wet paint is easiest to deal with—quickly use car wash shampoo wax and a soft-bristle brush to gently scrub along the direction of the paint. Never use hard objects to scrape it. If the paint has already dried, it becomes trickier, requiring a dedicated automotive paint remover spray. First, test it in an inconspicuous area to ensure it won’t damage the original paint. Last time I dealt with it at home, I found that applying a hot towel for ten minutes to soften the paint was quite effective. No matter how cleanly you handle it, remember to apply a protective wax coating to shield the paint. If the affected area is larger than a coin, it’s better to visit a professional detailing shop—they achieve better results using clay bars or polishing machines.
