So my car came back from the body shop on Thursday. It looked great again. The areas that had been repainted were perfect. Friday I take it for a drive, then notice later some overspray all over the front. The apartment complex where I live had been repainting an apartment that morning. Crap!!
So now my new paintjob has some overspray. I can gently use a fingernail to lift it off and not scratch the paint. To remove it all by this method would take hours.
I washed the car Saturday and some of the overspray came off. I also started getting the rest of the car ready for winter, and used a Mother's claybar on other surfaces. The clay got off a surprising amount of stuff (paint was rough). I then discovered more overspray on places like the trunklid that the clay was not getting off despite my best efforts. Due to the need to get on with life I used the P2s paintwork lotion, klass AIO, klass SG, and P2s carnuba wax on the surfaces I clayed and those parts of the are looking great again.
My questions are what to do with the overspray that won't come off with the mother's clay, and can I clay the part of the car that was just repainted?
