Can my Rotary Take Out This Over Spray?

I tried clay bar and it won't come out. The pic on the hood shows about 5 minutes of rubbing. I was wondering if I could try using my Orange LC pad with a mild compound on the paint to see if that would take the over spray out. Last resort would be to wet sand the entire car with 2500.

I have a mothers yellow clay bar. I believe its in between mild and aggressive. This sponge sounds great though, I was doing some searching on it. It marrs the surface like an agressive clay, but is much easier to work with. I think I'll order that and try er' out. Thanks!
 
Can it come off with your rotary? Yes

Is this the best possible method? No

If clay won't work, try solvent. If that doesn't work then use something mild like 4000 grit sandpaper. The key is to remove the overspray with doing the least amount of damage(and work) to the finish, in the fastest amount of time.

Its a truck, not show car, but I totally agree. I will try some solvent, but the clear coat is a solvent resistant urethane 2k paint, so I don't think I will have much luck, which is why I didn't try in the first place. I'll do that now and report back soon.
 
Lacquer thinner doesn't even put a dent in 'er. That's a pretty strong solvent, so I'm going to have to say that its impervious to solvents.

Usually I get my ventilation system setup, but I was just doing a spot repair (follow pinstripe) and figured it would be okay, but the over spray sat in my booth like a fog not settling and ended up adhering to anything it touched.



Believe me, no one has to say it, I feel stupid enough... lesson learned!
 
I use to work at a semi shop where we would paint semi, semi frames, and semi trailers in two side rooms with just a fan to the outside as our 60ft paint booth was always full. I'm not sure what kind of lacquer thinner you used, but the stuff we used would definitely take it off but it would probably take some of the paint off with it. We had trucks sit beside the shop for years and I just hit them with the rotary and 3M compound and it was "gone." Yes it wasn't an "autopia" shop or a high dollar car shop. But it worked and that's all that mattered to the boss.
 
There is no one cure to remove overspray from a vehicle. It depends on the type of paint or coating, the amount of overspray and the substrate (paint, slick trim, or textured trim).



That is why there are companies, such as the one I work for, that specialize in it. We frequently have detail shops subcontract the work to us and simply tack on an additional fee prior to billing customer.



I would strongly recommend to be careful with the more aggressive clays.
