Default Sun Block attacks paint????
A few days ago I went for a drive and with it being very sunny and clear I wore a white T shirt and used Bullfrog Sunblock on my neck, face, and arms. Today I did the same, upon returning I noticed the paint on the inside top edge of the drivers door near the door lock mechanism had a somewhat sticky feeling. I thought that some of the sunblock had been rubbed on the surface by my arm and as I attempted to "wipe it off" the surface remained sticky. I used some glass cleaner to no avail. Then I tried some mineral spirits (paint thinner) and it seemed to remove the sticky feel but it apears as if some of the clear coat slughed off in an area about 4-6" long. Is it possible that the combination of perspiration and this sunblock could attack the paint. Anyone have a similar experience??????
