    Re: Body Shop Overspray ?

    Heck just having a car parked NEAR a body shop can result in overspray all over the exterior including the glass, wheels, tires, bed and body panels...

    You can quote me on that.


    Why? Simple... because they spray paint at body shops and not just in the enclosed paint booth.

    Even if they only sprayed paint inside the paint booth overspray is still a problem because,

    A: Airborne sticky particles of fresh paint can travel and land everywhere and anywhere.

    B: Not all shops tape-off and cover-up 100% of the portions of a car NOT being painted. For example if painting a fender, some shops won't tape-off and cover all the other parts of the car like the back wheels, or back of car, etc. Overspray paint is non-selective, it drifts in the air and sticks wherever it lands.

    So...

    See this article, it's also in my how-to book...

    The Baggie Test - How to inspect for above surface bonded contaminants


    Thanks Mike, great information!!! I figured as much, after I got it home I washed it, went with some MG Final Inspection and hit it with the towel. That puppy ddrrraaaggggeeddd big time. Well, I clayed the entire cay yesterday, just soaked it with detailer to lube it up. Smooth as glass to the touch, but when I used the baggie I can still feel material. I guess I should go over the car one more time, or would M205 eliminate the rest? I may have have to apply twice?

    Thanks Mike

    Sometimes the baggie test can be hard to please...

    You can try claying again or do a test post by polishing and then inspect.


    Hard to say what will work 100%. The Nanoskin products, especially machine application tend to really do the best job but in my experience you do then want and need to machine polish.


    A $4.00 Plastic Drop Cloth could have prevented this...

    I think it's time to go to Nanoskin and throw away the clay. Looks much easier...
