With Summer just around the corner, that means sunscreen season as well. Sometimes you may wonder what these random handprint marks on your vehicle are; if you have been using sunscreen lately, this is most likely the culprit. We are going to show you some ways to remove sunscreen from the exterior of your vehicle.
Sunscreen can leave odd handprint marks on your vehicle, and while it does look funny; we are going to show you some ways to help you remove sunscreen from the exterior of your vehicle. Once sunscreen is spotted on the exterior of your vehicle, it needs to be removed as it could bond with the paint.
Magic Eraser:
The Magic Eraser is definitely a strong product to get any old grime and dirt off of surfaces. With that in mind, be aware that a magic eraser is fine like sandpaper, use it judiciously.
Water and Microfiber Cloth:
If you are concerned about potentially damaging your vehicle’s paint, try this route. Get a small bucket and mix it with mild soap and water. Then get the microfiber cloth wet with the solution and start cleaning the sunscreen off. Afterward, rinse the spot you have just cleaned with water.
Rubbing Alcohol:
This is great for not only removing sunscreen from your vehicle but tree sap as well. It is recommended that you dilute the rubbing alcohol, this way it doesn’t ruin your vehicle's paint.
Another helpful tip is applying sunscreen when you have reached your destination, this way you can potentially avoid having sunscreen handprints on the exterior of your vehicle. By the time you arrive back to your vehicle after having fun outdoors, the sunscreen has been absorbed into the skin and the likelihood of it getting on the exterior of your vehicle is rare.
