    Removing Overspray Paint using Nanoskin Autoscrub Pads

    Removing Overspray Paint using Nanoskin Autoscrub Pads


    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.

    Speed Settings

    Porter Cable = 3-4
    Meguiar's G110v2 = 3-4
    Griot's = 2-3
    Cyclo Mark 5 Pro - 4 -5
    Flex 3401 = 2-3


    Tips

    Use plenty of lube when decontaminating paint with Nanoskin Autoscrub Pads. Wipe any excess residue off when finished with one section and before moving onto a new section.

    For heavily contaminated paint, rinse face of pad and agitate gently with a soft brush under running water or in a bucket of clean water. (remove from machine first for safety reasons).

    Do you find you need to use a significant amount more lube for these pads compared to traditional clay?

    From many user accounts it seems like they have a tendency to leave a good bit of marring behind. I would assume it is due to lack of lube?

    Any thoughts are appreciated since these clay alternatives are looking quite interesting to me.


    EDIT: apparently you just posted this info while I was typing! Thanks! haha

    One thing I practice and recommend is ANY time I'm going to do any type of decontamination, be it claying or using one of the other forms of mechanically removing contaminants off paint is to already plan on doing at least ONE machine polishing step. This could be using a one-step cleaner/wax or any type of compounding or polishing step.

    I have a 2012 Mercedes-Benz 350 detail coming up, the car is verified to have above surface bonded contaminants of some type. I inspected the paint today in full sun and there are no visible swirls.

    After I clay the paint, at a minimum I will do one machine polishing step. Watch for this write-up in a couple of weeks.

    I use the Griots with the nanoskin, But was wondering what kind of pressure to apply? I have clayed for years now, but stepped up to the Pads and with light pressure just machine weight I felt like I needed more so I added more weight on an already used pad and marred the paint on a black truck. In the end it polished out nicely with an AIO.

    Re: Removing Overspray Paint using Nanoskin Autoscrub Pads

    We clayed the car first and I did another baggie test only to find above surface over spray and or contaminants.There was enough lube used that we were spraying each other with the machines.(Good thing we are friends.) I saw no marring.It makes short work of the task at hand.Very little if any pressure with plenty of lube and the machine just glides across the surface.

    Re: Removing Overspray Paint using Nanoskin Autoscrub Pads

    Have you ever experienced Nanoskin failure?

    I purchased a 6" Nanoskin to fit on the Porter Cable. I have only used the Nanoskin on roughly 10 cars, maybe three months. Already I am getting marring left by the Nanoskin on the glass & the paint. I use goo gone to remove the marring from the paint.

    So is this a typical shelf life of Nanoskin? If not, what would be causing the marring on the paint? I use ONR as a form of lubrication, NOT WATER. I have used the Nanoskin on several other cars in the past with no marring issues. As you suggested kept the skin at a level of 3 on cars & bump it up on the glass to 4.

    Something I have noticed lately is when the skin has been dried it has a gummy / sticky feeling. It never had this type of gummy feeling before.

    When I have cleaned the pad I have used running tap water and my fingers to agitate any materials left on the skin.

    I went crazy on the lube I also had it spraying everywhere, but who knows. I will have to see on the next black car I get. I just need more practice with it and let the weight of the machine do the grunt work.
