Rob, does the charcoal lighter fluid have an adverse effect on the paint?

I would imagine if I didn't wash/wax after using it there could be an adverse effect over time. Similar to gasoline that runs down the side of a vehicle when the tank is overfilled. There's no immediate damage but long term without cleaning will cause yellowing.
similar experience. Charcoal lighter fluid is refined Naptha, an a mild solvent. Bug and tar remover is similar, in most cases Naptha and other solvents.
Naptha is a common solvent found in many many prodcuts ranging from bug removers, it's coleman stove fuel, charcoal ligher fluid, VM&P naptha is naptha foor painting thinner.
Humm, Good to know. But, at what mix level ? Pure Naptha like the types you list has a strong smell. I don't feel comfortable putting anything that strong on paint unless it has been diluted to a very low level.
I don't have my Bugs N All right in front of me but, I think is said something about no petroleum products. Not at all sure about that though.
