Hi All,

Just a quick Question if petrol is spilled on the paint work on any car, will it damage or corrode the paint work?

thanks

Cheers

~ One man’s opinion / observations ~

Petroleum does tend to stain paint surfaces, remove with a solvent type product (Klasse AIO, isopropyl alcohol, (or a window cleaner if none of these types of products are readily available)Apply a protectant when stain has been removed

BTW A polymer sealant usually resists gas stains much more effectivly than canauba wax.

~Hope this helps~
