Bad mistake! This stuff is not for painted parts. It eats paint just as easily it dissolves grease, leaving painted parts white/oxidized.
Beware what chemicals you use on your cars. Some of this stuff is really crazy abrasive.
Is the safest degreaser for engine/suspension parts still Simple Green?

I spray Simple Green directly onto my paint to soften the bugs up before driving it through the car wash. I also soak my Rally IIs down with it to combat the brake dust at the same time. It goes on straight and it has not damaged anything yet. Oh, I forgot the other use; I spray it on the sides of my car especially by the rear quarter windows to loosen the industrial strength adhesive commonly known as dog slobber before washing also!
