What would be a good product+ pad combination for a crazy amount of overspray hood?

Been there, done that a few times... have a few pictures...


Removing Overspray Paint using Nanoskin Autoscrub Pads (http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/how-articles/66219-removing-overspray-paint-using-nanoskin-autoscrub-pads.html)
This 1963 Plymouth Fury was recently repainted. As a by-product of the painting process, there was overspray all over the car. It was very easy to feel the overspray paint on the hood and the windshield but chances are very good the entire car has some level of overspray paint, including all the glass, all the paint, all the chrome and stainless steel trim and even the wheels and tires.

Interesting Factoid...
The most common place to get overspray paint on your car is while it's at a body shop for repairs or a complete paint job.

Tip...
Anytime you have your car re-painted, or even just a portion of the car repainted, while at the body shop, inspect the car for overspray and if discovered, point this out to the shop managers.

Time to get busy....
The Nanoskin Autoscrub pads are incredibly effective at removing above surface bonded contaminants like paint overspray and best of all you work by machine using dual action polishers, any dual action polisher.

How to clean your Nanoskin Autoscrub Pads

Here you can see the yellow overspray paint that built up on the face of the Cyclo Nanoskin Autoscrub Pads. I've placed some brand new pads next to them on the right to make the yellow color a lot easier to see.


Left Side = Used Pads

Right Side = Brand New Pads that have never been used.

Here you can actually see yellow paint building up in the on the tiny rubber pads...

Here's a way to clean them using Blackfire Clay Cleaner and Extender and a soft, nylon detailing brush.

In the below picture I've only cleaned one half of each pad to show the visual difference between before and after.

This Mustang had clear overspray over it too after getting some new paint after a fender bender...

Mechanically Decontaminate Paint
The car had overspray on all of the body panels and really bad in some areas. To remove the overspray paint we're using Nanoskin Autoscrub Pads, "Medium Grade" on Porter Cable, Griot's and Meguiar's dual action polishers with the Nanoskin Glide for a lube.
