Will coolant damage my paint?
Working in the garage and moved a bucket with coolant. Some sloshed out and got all over the rear bumper cover.
Wiped it all off with a micro fiber towel, but should it be washed? The paint is pristine and I don't want it damaged.
I don't have any glass cleaner, besides, it's freezing in there right now and I'd rather not bother with it today if I don't have to.
Thoughts?

If you have a Quick detailer use it. Do you wax the car often? As long as you got it off your ok ( you'll remove it completely) by wiping it.

I waxed I last July before I took the engine apart for polishing. The wax has probably evaporated even though it doesn't get any sun in the garage.
Don't have detailer or even Windex.
I'm just wondering if I'll get a suprise someday when the paint has etches or splotches from the residue.

No,as long as you removed it completely, your cool.
I detail cars so you know. I'm not talking out of my rear.

Thanks for the advice.
I searched around and found an old spray bottle of Mothers "Showtime Gold" instant detailer.
Spent a few minutes and got the 'Vette ready for a gold medal.
I feel better now... thanks again.
