Will Alcohol Damage Car Paint?

[CourtneyMarie]

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. If substances like asphalt, oil stains, or industrial dirt adhere to the car body for too long, they can damage the paint. Use asphalt remover, insect remover, etc., to clean these stains promptly. 3. When cleaning the car's painted surface, avoid using brushes or coarse cloths to prevent leaving scratches.
