Car experts say that you should be very cautious about using Goof Off on car paint. Many people have said that Goof Off works great when removing adhesives from small areas, for example, but using too much of it is not a good idea.
Goof Off removes dried paint, adhesive/glue, and asphalt/tar. Sounds great, right? But think about its tagline, which is “Removes the Toughest Stuff.” Doesn’t sound as if Goof Off will make the best overall cleaner for your car if you want to protect your paint job. While you might use it for small jobs—such as removing a bumper sticker—be cautious about applying it too liberally.
You’ll want to determine whether you can use Goof Off on car paint before experimenting with it. After all, you don’t want to damage your car’s paint job. Your car is an investment.
