Many liquids have a negative effect on car paint. These liquids that harm car paint–if left long enough–will ruin the paint and cause permanent damage to the surface of the car. If you want your paint to remain unharmed, clean the vehicle as soon as you realize the liquid is there.
Egg
Eggs can remove an entire layer of paint if not removed promptly. The yolk and egg whites are corrosive materials when in contact with paint. The egg shell can also scratch the paint. If you do find egg on your car, clean the area as soon as possible and use mild soap with water. Ensure that you remove the egg completely.
Shaving Cream
Shaving cream on a cars surface can cause paint discoloration. If caught when the shaving cream is still in the foam form, it will not cause any damage. Damage occurs when the shaving cream is left to dry. You will need to wet the area to wash off the shaving cream. If the discoloration has already begun, you will need a new paint job.
Acetone
Acetone contains chemicals that will eat away at car paint. This liquid will dissolve the paint to the base. It takes just a few hours for this to take effect on car paint. If you remove the acetone immediately, the damage will be minimal. It can be taken off with soap and water.
Vehicle Fluid
Vehicle fluids will dissolve and deteriorate the paint on a cars surface. These liquids include coolant and brake fluid, which will soften paint and make it more susceptible to damage. These vehicle fluids act more quickly on the paint than most liquids. It is best to remove these liquids immediately to prevent excessive damage.
