Can I use WD40 to remove road paint from a car?
Argh! I went through a work zone where the road crew was spraying down lines on the road shoulders. Can I use WD40 to remove road paint from a car?

Car experts say that you can use WD40 to remove road paint from a car. Here are some tips:
- First, try washing your car. If the damage was recent, try taking your car through a hot water, pressured car wash.
- If the wash doesn’t work, try applying WD-40. Allow it to dry for one to two hours, and then take it through the car wash again. Hopefully, this will do the trick.
What should you avoid doing? Do not scrub with a scouring cleanser. If you do, you run the risk of damaging your finish.
