Hmmm... I'm not sure about paint but I have seen clearcoat taken off, especially if the bologna and car have been sitting in the sun for awhile. Or maybe it was just grease marks that were left behind after peeling off the bologna.

I remember Coke being effective also. I'm referring to that popular cola, not that white stuff.

Bologna will only tear of paint if you remove it incorrectly, like anything.

Coke, on the other hand, is actually a very effective cleaner - but that's only because it is high on the ph scale.

Sorry, low on the pH scale, it is acidic, not caustic.
