Do oranges damage paint jobs?
I know that eggs can really damage a car's paint job, but will oranges do the same because of the acid in the citrus? I'm a little nervous because this happened to a friend and I'm wondering what's the worst that it can do in cold weather like right now?
Update:One last detail, I live in California but the cold nights are enough to freeze and leave ice on your car. Will that make it worse if the juice is frozen on the roof or hood?

i doubt it will cause much problems with paint but to bare metal yes. acid speeds up the oxidation process in metal
Im not sure but i do know that oranges have alot of acid so it could. But an egg will ruin paint
I'm not sure. I live in Canada, so orange trees are not a problem (40 F, nothing. Try -20)
look on the link... it says all of it... according to risk tell them to place some ghost photographs interior the paint, too. the vehicle is a GTO, yet form of seems Grand Am-ish... image affliction can do a rendering for you, in case you do circulate to them be confident to tell 'em Elite Streets mag sent ya!
Yes. Orange peels contain oils that act as natural solvents which dissolve laminated surfaces.
If it's cold out and you wash it off quickly it should be ok.
