Paint overspray

[ghostnote]

Some asshole was spraypainting a fence next to the road I was driving on. By the time I realized it, I drove past the cloud.

He said it was water-based paint. It seemed to come off with some QD and elbow grease. But it's a large area and I don"t want to use too much pressure to get the little spots off. Will a clay bar do it? Or what's the best way to get it off?

You can use a clay bar or lacquer thinner. Lacquer thinner is faster and You will have to wax after the lacquer thinner.

I had paint overspray on my car and used rubbing alcohol and it came right off. The clay bar certainly wouldnt hurt, my guess is that if you were able to get it to come off with quick detailer and elbow grease, then the clay bar should take it off no problem.

I used the rubbing alcohol before I knew anything about detailing and clay bars. If this happened to me now, clay bar would be the first thing I would try.

dont ever use thinner..... use a clay bar and warm water . only use thinner if you get the paint that they use on the lines on the road.. warm water clay bar and elbow grease will get it off.. but you will have to wax or paint correct the spots you did
