Tire Dressing on paint... will it hurt it?

[gb387]

Tire Dressing on paint... will it hurt it? or is it just going to be a pain to get it off. A guy at work asked me if I thought it would hurt paint. It seems a bunch was accidentally sprayed on the hood of his fathers truck. I wasn't to sure so I thought that I would ask.

It sounds like it was Hot Shine in the trigger bottle.

Shouldn't be a problem should it?

Does not hurt paint that allready exist on car. But if not throughly remove will cause fish eye in new paint being applied. I use 3m genenral adhesive remover but a good degreaser will do the job follow up with claying/cleaner wax and reapply wax.

Hi gb387,

This tire dressing shouldn't hurt the paint but you should remove it by either washing the car or by using a paint cleaner like,

• * Deep Crystal Paint Cleaner
  * ScratchX
  * Medallion Premium Paint Cleaner
  * Meguiar's Clear Coat Body Scrub

or a cleaner/polish like,

• * #9 Swirl Remover 2.0
  * #82 Swirl Free Polish
  * #80 Hand Glaze

or even a cleaner/wax like ,

• * Meguiar's Cleaner Wax
  * ColorX

Any of the above product will not only remove the dressing but will make the paint look great at the same time.

Hope this helps...

Mike

My experience is that the Meguiar's tire dressings can be removed from a waxed surface with a QD like Final Detail or Last Touch. The dressing will be removed more easily without smearing if you use an Ultimate Wipe.
