Coffee on Newly Painted Roof

Crawfish · 03-19-02, 08:06

This is a very strange question. An a-hole dumped a large coffee with cream and sugar over my roof while parked in my garage at work. The kicker is that I just got the car back from the body shop and my roof just was repainted after another vandalism incident. Would this coffee damage the paint if I just left it on until this weekend when I have the time to wash it??

Are you kidding?

I would not allow coffee to sit for days on a body panel, especially a newly-painted/unprotected panel. If it is absolutely impossible to wash the panel until the weekend, at least try to heavily spray the area with a Quick Detail Spray and gently remove that way.

This method would only be secondary to a wash.

I would take my car through the dreaded automatic car wash (touchless of course) before I would let that stuff sit on my paint a few days.

You mean you didn't run out with bottles of water and wash it off?

What'd you do to the a-hole? Make him . . . .
