Painters and Overspray.

[drdetail]

I just got home from winter break and after two weeks of solid rain was itching to wash the car, and after i did, i noticed that the car was covered in little white dots, paint, window, trim, everywhere. Needless to say i crapped myself and passed out on the spot.

When i came to, i tried dawn washing, didnt work, so i embarked on a 4 hour claybar nightmare to get off every single tiny dot. Followed up with VM at speed 4 with a white pad on my PC, then a coat opf SG and then a coat of Blitz Wax. Came out ok, Majority of the paint looks great but there are still a few tiny dots here and there, ever have this happen to you,. Im thinking about how to kick some butts over this one.



Also, is there a better claybar out there besides mothers that is better suited for this kind of job.

Meguiars body shop overspray clay is made for that.



Don't you have bonding issues with SG over VM?

Next time don't drive on the white line, drive between 'em

The paint is from peop[le who were painting my apartment building, on a nice windy day. I've had nothing but great results using vm with sg.

they painted a building next door to us blue and low and behold I was doing the samething you are doing ....cursing! I agree with stevet the meguiars overspray is great... you can read about it first at the site.

Good luck...maybe Santa will bring you a car cover!http://www.autogeek.net/megovclay.html

Next time you need to remove household type 'latex' paint, try Goof Off. This stuff is safe for all clear coats and works very well.



Just spray it on a cloth and wipe away the paint specks. It's that easy. Then, of course, you'll want to give the area a fresh coat of polish and wax.



You can find Goof Off at most home supply stores. I'm pretty sure their website is www.goofoff.com

sounds cool, the only bits remaing are almost microscopic and can barely be seen with the naked eye, but of course they're driving me crazy, i ortdered the clay magic red bar to take car of the rest.
