Overspray

[colm_gti]

Lads i left my car in my mates yard the other day, and they had lads in painting the sheds while my car was there. I've only noticed little tiny black specks all over the body and windows today

Whats the best way to get this off? Clay bar? Which one?

How long has it been on?, got some on my old car and it never came off

I doubt clay will touch it

I have tried clay on a car with overspray, and it didnt do anything.

Some Farecla G3 liquid compound on a machine polisher will take them off. If not, it'll need wetsanding.

use an agressive clay bar, as that is primarily what they were designed for

Claybar will get it off the windows, depending on how agressive the bar is it might also get the paint off the body.

As said, try a clay bar 1st, then if not get a polish , i used megs #80 to get off some hammerite specs on silver paint. If thats no good try a more aggressive polish/compoud.

Did that really get out hammerite? :O

Thats well good, i guess most agressive compound polishes should do that.

Yeh, i was painting the arches the flicked off the brush to clean it and splattered it on my front end lol. I just worked the polish by hand and it came off in no time.

Depends really, Clay bar is worth a go.


If you have recently polished and sealed/waxed it you will have better luck than a neglected paint job...

Otherwise some power gloss by menzerna on a cutting pad will get the buggers off

As said, aggressive clay is designed for overspray. Not your generic gnat's piss Megs clay, but proper Sonus or Bilt-Hamber stuff.

Failing that, would a soak in Tardis do any good?

Sadly not Ads mate.

Agressive clay will be your first port of call. After that something like G3. Finally if these methods haven't shifted it then you will need to wet sand. I would suggest not trying the latter two yourself unless you have had experience of the processes.

I woudl suggest you take it back to the shop as they will have experience of overspray and should be sorting it for you, since it is their fault!

Ah right, you'd best come down
and show me how to use it properly..

Did you send me a PM that I didn't reply to?

 

[JD]

Yes, yes you did!
