Whats up everyone.. I had to work on this truck today and it was covered in overspray from the body shop I have been working at.

I used system one polish and it took it out.. but it took me a couple of tries.
My steps.
Regular car wash
Used the clay bar on the entire truck.
Then system one polish with wool pad.
Then system one polish with cyclo machine and orange pads to take out the swirl marks from the wool pad.

Truck came out perfect..but I was wondering if there is an easier way to get over spray off.

Thanks.

I did only the left side so you can see the difference

No offense but if your body shop is doing that kind of work, it looks like you could have some very upset customers. That overspray was hideous. Good job on doing the right thing, and fixing it.

Did you try claying first

Is that a scratch on the side? Or a reflection of a wire?

yeah i have been trying to tell them to fix their booth.. but whatever.. keep getting the cars covered.. i will get the overspray off before the customer gets the car.. but i am charging him top dollar for my time... he wants to make more work for himself.. then go ahead.. not my money.. lol.. to loudog2 thats the antenna reflection not a scratch

Looks like the three stooges run that bodyshop.Or what i like to say Stevie Wonder does the paint work and Ray Charles did the prep work

haha yeah its pretty bad!!! and there is alot of dirt that gets in the paint when they do it .. cause the booth is not sealed so dust gets in there.. they give it to me to clean and im like.. um.. do you see all of that stuff stuck in the hood ? lol

Not to be rude you need to hit that car with some 105 on a Megs purple wool pad and work it down from there .It's got to work alot better then what you are using now

i have been pretty satisfied with system one.. it has been working out for me pretty well.. i was just wondering if there was a way to get the overspray off without hitting it with a wool pad.. the clay bar did not do much.. i think it has been on that truck for a long time.. baking in the texas sun

Did you try very aggressive clay or the fine stuff? I doubt the fine stuff would do you much good.
