What to Do If There Is Paint on the Car Surface?

Solutions for paint on the car surface include: 1. Banana Oil: Commonly known as thinner, dip a towel in banana oil and gently wipe the paint spots to dilute the paint. Finally, rinse with clean water. However, banana oil is toxic, volatile, and somewhat corrosive, which may damage the car paint, so caution is needed when using it. 2. Gasoline: Gasoline can dissolve paint effectively with minimal corrosion. The steps are the same as with banana oil. 3. Alcohol: Industrial alcohol can be used to remove paint. Use a soft cotton cloth dipped in alcohol and gently wipe the paint away.
I've had a few experiences with paint getting on my car. If it's water-based paint or freshly splashed paint, quickly wipe it off with a wet cloth or rinse it with water, because once it dries, it becomes difficult to remove. Remember not to use hard objects to scrub, as you might scratch the car's paint. If it's dried oil-based paint, try using a bit of acetone or a specialized cleaner, spray it to soften the paint, then gently wipe it away. A good practice is to park away from construction areas when possible. The key is to act quickly, otherwise the paint can seep into the original car paint, leading to corrosion or discoloration, which would be costly to repair. I recommend applying a layer of wax after washing the car, as it can enhance protection and reduce the likelihood of such incidents.
