How do you get a milk stain off a car exterior?

My kid spilled a bunch of milk on the outside of my new car and I'm worried it'll stain. Does milk ruin car paint? How should I clean it off?

You’ve probably already rinsed off the area with water. But if you haven’t, be sure to do that. Otherwise, you shouldn’t have to worry too much about getting a milk stain off the exterior of your car.
Milk won’t stick to or damage your paint like other substances might. If you do see any staining, buff the area with a little hand polish or wax and the problem should go away.
It’s so exciting you have a new car! And it’s reasonable you’d want to protect it. One of the best ways to do that is by getting a good car insurance policy. The
Jerry
 app can help you find the coverage you need for a price you can easily afford.
Jerry will contact your insurance company to get the details of your current coverage so you don’t have to scale a mountain of questions. Then, Jerry will gather customized, competitive quotes from over 50 top name-brand insurers and deliver the best deals straight to you—for free.

I was late for work the other day, so I decided I would hop in the HOV lane to bypass some traffic. Unfortunately, a cop saw me do it and gave me a citation. It’s my first offense. So, is there any way that I can beat a carpool lane ticket?
