Using a Pay 'n' SprayĬhanging your car's appearance using a Pay 'n' Spray will misdirect the police, although getting an entirely new car somehow doesn't fool them at all. You can also head for a cop-free location such as an alleyway or the inside of a building to wait until the heat dies down.

As you drive, you'll see your wanted level gradually going down. Jump in a fast car and head for another area of Vice City. Therefore, simply laying low and staying out of sight is a better strategy at lower wanted levels.

At low levels, it's relatively easy to avoid the police at higher levels they will pursue you avidly. Your wanted level will decrease automatically over time, as long as you are out of sight of the police.
