Spilled gasoline on the car... - LotusTalk

SouL · 08-09-2007, 10:35 PM

Some gasoline decided to pour out when I placed the nozzle into the tank... and it continued to spill down onto the paint.
Should I be worried about any damage to the paint? The car was washed and given multiple coats of wax this past weekend.

Not wanting to scratch the car, I just grabbed some of the paper towels by the pump and dabbed it on the surface to soak up the gasonline.

I would not worry.

Rewax the spot if you're really concerned - the gas will dissolve any wax.
