Spilled gas on car, ruined paint?!?!
I was just at the gas station and I spilled a bunch of vpower premium on my lemans colored 350z. I had to let it sit on there for like a minute before I could find something to wipe it off with too. I think it ruined the paint. You can see the spill marks. I've tried washing, waxing, everything! It's not coming off! Help!

Some idiot overfilled my tank on my wrx and it was spilling for a good 3-5 seconds before I realized and jumped out. I was about to drop the guy but knew it wasn't his fault. He set it on auto and went to help someone else. I just used the towels that were on the pump to clean it off then went home and washed my car again to make sure. Nothing ever happened to the paint. You shouldn't have let it sit there. As stated above you shoulda used your shirt.

i had this happened to me few months ago. My dumbass want to round up the dollar amount to make it even, so i spill it out a little bit. Wiped it off with some paper towel they have there. Clean it off with some spray on wax later. I been washing the car like normal afterward and don't notice it there anymore.
Just keep washing and waxing ur car and you'll be fine.

if it damaged the clear any and washing or waxing doesnt fix it ..
take a buffer to it .. try just a machine polish first (3M step two) .. if that doesnt get it out (IT SHOULD) .. then use a compound then a machine polish
gas wont damage a paint job, just might haze the clear a little

I hope that was a joke ..
Ive taken 600 grit sandpaper and laquer thinner to brand new 2009 dodge challengers to fix the delivery guys "mistakes" ..
(I'm a Painter at a Dodge Dealership)
why would gas ruin a paint job? .. at worst it just hazed over the clear
as for the Z having terrible paint .. dodge and hyundai have to be the worst
