WD40 safe on car paint?
I just bought a used IS that has some paint overspray on in. I tried claying which removed some of the smaller specs but takes forever. WD40 seems to work alot better. I tested a couple spots and wiped away quickly with a damp cloth. It doesnt seem to damage the surface at all. Just wana see what you guys think before I do the rest of the car.

WD-40 has recommended their product for removing bugs, tar, etc off of automotive paint.
Not sure if it's safe, but I've had WD-40 accidentally sprayed on my car and there was no ill-effect.
WD-40 is mainly a water displacer anyways. It's nothing strong like PB-Blaster or Kroil.

100% correct, but I still would make sure that I cleaned the area well with soap and water after you get the bugs off. Then wax the area because the WD - 40 can eat away at the wax if not cleaned up.
