Sully's Detailing: SL 500 (Over Spray Removal) South Florida Detailing

This vehicle belongs to one of my regular clients. He was cleaning a can with an unknown substance in it. He stuck the hose in it and paint went everywhere and all over his SL500. When I first saw the vehicle most of the paint was coming off with my figure nail so I figured a aggressive clay and then polishing the vehicle would do the job. Well it turns out that he drove the vehicle to work on day and it sat outside in the sun and the heat really baked the paint on there. I started by washing down the vehicle and claying it. The clay did nothing so I had to polish all of the paint out.
PS: It started to rain in the middle of this detail and continued to be raining/over cast for the rest of the day so no sun shots. I am working on his Jeep Thursday so I will snag some then

Nice job.

Having had that happen to my black BMW, (all over) I know what a pain it is.

Poorboy helped me and we used
PB apc as clay lube (for some reason I also think we used bug squash too)
pro polish (forget what pads)

And it came clean.
 
Looks great! People seem to remember and spread the word on a fix like that.
I'm really liking the German dark blue metallics.
 
Something similar but on a smaller scale once happened to my black Audi.I followed a similar claying/wash process and it worked well. I also once detailed a car with much older overspray and I resorted to using the three step Valugard ABC wash process, claying during step two. I then clayed the car all overagain after the wash. It got most of the overspray off but thankfully the car is silver.
 
Getting paint off is never any fun....My in town supplier has some super aggressive clay that I usually always have luck with. Nice work, paint turned out very wet looking
 
I just picked up another overspray removal. I'm going to try the apc as clay lube this time then use surbuf and hydrotech pads. It's a 01 SS Camaro on spray should be a fun car to work on :)
