Nothing that a good wax will clean up! Good luck.

Yeah, as long as you cleaned it up right after it happened, you're fine. In the future you might want to carry a microfiber towel and some instant detailer of your choosing.

I've spilled gas down the side of my car while filling at the station on a few occasions and never wipe it since it dry's almost instantly. It hasn't done anything to the paint so you should be good with just water/wash unless you see noticeable damage.

RDIS250...Everybody knows that about Geico but did you know certain cartoon characters can't be given energy drinks lol?
