Is Dog Slobber harmful to paint?
Someone on one of the car forums I frequent made a post that his dog leans out the car window and the dog drool that fell on the door has etched the paint. Do you think that’s possible?

I’d be more worried about the dog scratching the paint with its paws.
Treat it like it's the only one in the world.

Re: Is Dog Slobber harmful to paint?
I was going to say I've had dog slobber on the inside of my tinted windows without any issues, but then I realised that the back glass is Japanese privacy glass, not tinted. I did have a cousin who decided to hang his beer out the window while we were driving, he liked the cool noise it made. We got home after dark, so I didn't realise I had beer all down the passenger side of my Pathfinder. I wiped it away the next day without any issues. Would beer be worse than slobber? I guess the slobber is saliva, which could be somewhat acidic.

Would not be an apples to apples test.
I looked it up and human saliva is 6.2 to 7.6 ph. Dog saliva is more alkaline 7-8.5. I don’t know what that really means in regards to car paint. Lol.

Makes sense. I had a boxer (until just this last Christmas) and I always joked his slobber was the best cleaner (wood floors, car interiors, etc)... maybe it was not my imagination.
Did it vary by breed? My other one's slobber isn't as good of a cleaner

The info I found didn’t break it down by breed, just in general.

Re: Is Dog Slobber harmful to paint?
I've never seen it etch paint, but it can be REALLY hard to remove if left on the paint for a while. Of course I always use coatings, which might help.
The last dog we owned was a Great Dane. Lovely girl, all 160+lbs of her. Our route from the dog day-care to our house is only about 3/4 of a mile down a slow, rural, back road. On nice days we'd roll the window down and let her stick her head out. This would lead to saliva getting splattered all over door below that window. I wasn't able to always clean it up right away. When washing the car it would be very noticeable and normal carwash soap would not remove it. I'd typically have to break out the APC and spend a little time removing the mess.

Carpro once did a double blind dog slobber test on their CQuartz.
