Stupid Overspray-----Olympic Wood Protector

Well the neighbor decided to be "kind" this weekend and seal my privacy fence that faces his yard.



In the process there was some overspray that got on my vehicles. Mostly my work truck (It's covered), and a bit on my new tahoe.



I'm not quite happy about it, but I'll live.



I tried on the work truck (windows) some 70% alcohol and a Microfiber with minimal results.



What can be used on the vehicles to remove this crap? It has Linseed Oil in it and who knows what else.



I hate to use anything too harsh on the Tahoe, I just got a coat of Z5pro and 2x of Z2pro about two weeks ago........



Thanks guys.

:angry

Try something lite like New Car Solvent or Prep Sol 1st and if that doesn't work call Ron Ketchum @ Auto Internationsal. He's an expert at knowing what material (solvent) will work best/safely to melt away the overspray.

He sometimes needs the ingredient label off the product, but something basic like wood sealer shouldn't be a problem.



DON'T LET YOUR NEIGHBOR TOUCH YOUR VEHICLES!!!!! If he becomes a pain, contact his insurance company.

I'm not tooooo awful worried about the work truck. I just want it off of the windows.

I'm much more concerned with the Tahoe--It's only got 4k on it and it's mostly on the left side. I figured I can "test" on the work truck, and just a quick wipe down on the Tahoe.



I don't plan to let him touch the cars. I usually do most of the work myself......
 
Not to discount what "David Fermani" suggested, as I usually agree with his suggestions, and sometimes learn a new person to exploit (like he mentioned in this thread :bigups), but wouldn't a razor paint-scraper be better on the windows than steel wool?

Or is there some 'inside' joke I'm missing?

No disrespect intended David.

Very good question. :up

I feel more comfortable recommending steel wool over a razor blade to someone who *might* not be well versed with using razor blades. Steel wool is pretty error proof on glass where razor blades (if not used correctly) can permanantly scratch glass. I personally use both along with 4000 grit sandpaper on glass. Each kinda has a place depending on the job.
 
How about some odorless paint thinner (mineral spirits)? That should take that stuff right off without doing anything to the vehicle. BTW, that Olympic stain is good stuff.
 
Won't paint thinner damage the clear? lol





I managed to get most of the overspray off of the work truck windows. I used a combo of 00 steel wool and razor blades where the wool wouldn't cut it.

Agreed.



I use both, but razors have a higher risk of damage.
 
Thanks for the clarity.

I guess I've grown too familiar, experienced and comfortable with razor blades to think in any other perspective.

Mineral spirits is more like tar remover. Even laquer thinner (usually, been scolded for this statement before) doesn't effect catalyzed clear in short duration contact.
