Kato Member 184 Member For: 21y 5m 16d Location: Brisbane Posted 14/04/04 07:29 AM Share Posted 14/04/04 07:29 AM Hi All,Just after some advice on the best method to remove overspray only noticed this the other day after a big clean, it's the strangest thing bonnet to boot a fine mist over the entire car glass and all thankfully it can only really be seen right up close or felt as you run your hand over the paint Some genius has obviously felt the need to paint something close by and the wind has done the rest.Anyway just want to know if anyone has had any experience with this sort of thing and the best method to remove it? I've heard something before about a clay bar cleaner or something similar. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

This advice is ONLY for glass as it will also remove paint Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/10145-detailing-advice/#findComment-111150 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully only acrylic Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/10145-detailing-advice/#findComment-111203 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wanted to try and avoid buffing for fear of "buff burn" with thin paint as some have mentioned.Cheers Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/10145-detailing-advice/#findComment-111426 Share on other sites More sharing options...
