How can I get ink off of car paint?
I was leaning against my car after work, and I didn’t realize I had a pen in my pocket. Long story short, it exploded, and now there’s paint everywhere on my car door! How do I get the ink off the exterior paint of my car?

So sorry that happened, but I’m happy to say that ink should be easy to get off your car’s exterior! Here’s how to do it:
- Grab rubbing alcohol or mix one part of dish soap to two parts white vinegar.
- Put the liquid on a rag and dab the ink spot.
- Let it set for 10 to 15 minutes, and then wipe away the inkWith any luck, this will remove the ink without the kind of damage that would require you torepaint the car!
