I have used "dry gas" Many times on Many different vehicles. Never harmed the "finish" on any of them. The wax Yes, finish No ! The alcohol based cleaners will evaporate quite rapidly and a little common sense goes a long way when using Any cleaning solution on a painted finish.

I have tried and used alot of different brand auto soaps over the years, never found one that was worth a damn on pine sap.
