Body Shop Overspray ?
Hi All,
I recently had my car in the body shop for some paint work, after the work they polished the car. But, when I apply detail spray or even after wash my Micro Fiber goes over the paint rough. What I mean is the towel feels like it's pulling until I get the product up, then it returns . I first thought it was the towel but this is consistent with all my towels. I haven't run the baggie test yet, but it feels like overspray. Does that sound right? If so, should I wash to remove the wax, clay then light compound? Or can I just get the dust off and skipped the wash and go straight to clay..
Thanks for your help, Ken

Clay should remove the overspray.
keep it lubricated well with light pressure to avoid marring
depending on the color/paint hardness you should inspect for marring and follow up with a light polishing session

Yeah, I just did the baggie test and it's there. I'll be claying the whole car, not a bad way to spend a Monday though.
Thanks

Those speedy prep towels are a personal favorite for overspray!
But like mentioned earlier keep everything lubed and have fun

Thanks all,
So, my Micro Fiber towels grabbing is because of the overspray, not the towel ?

Hi Ken,
I've typed this so much in my life I guess it's time to write an article on it...
"The most common place to get overspray on your car is a body shop"
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...
"The most common place to get overspray on your car is a body shop"
See this article, it's also in my how-to book...
