Coolant on paint!

Coolant splattered all over my car when one of the hoses blew. Since the car got towed away I didn't exactly have time to wash it off. It was the shop for 3 days, so the coolant has been sitting on my car for a while. Am I going to find paintless spots all over??? I'm hoping I catch it in time. Will I have to re-wax?

No worries. Coolant will just make it sticky. I exploded a radiator in my other car and the entire engine bay has been covered in coolant since June. I just got around to cleaning it up. It wipes off, even months later.
