Do I need to re-apply everything all over again?

Three weeks ago I completed my first correction detail with a DA polisher. I used the following:

Megs NXT clay bar
Megs 205
Megs 105
Duragloss 501/601 mix
Duragloss 105/601 mix
Duragloss 111/601 mix
Collinite 845 Insulator wax

It looks awesome, but after leaving my car at the dealership overnight for a repair, there are small particles over all the paint and glass. I am not sure what it is since they are not visible with the naked eye, but you sure can feel them (even without a plastic bag).

I tried to use a cleaner wax, bug degreaser, Duragloss 501/601 mix but none of them remove these "particles".

So my question is this: If I clay my car to remove these "particles", does it strip all the products off the car, meaning I would need to reapply everything except the correction products? Or can I just reapply the Collinite 845 Insulator wax?
 
If the paint is still in good condition why couldn't you just use 845 to protect it again?

Can I do that, or will claying the car take all the duragloss products off as well?
 
Is it overspray? Sure sounds like it. Try claying a small spot and go from there. It's hard to say how much sealant is removed. Like Mike P. says, "If you're not adding anything then you're removing something". This is why I avoid stealerships at all cost!
 
I'd march back there and complain to the service manager that the incompetent shop employees got overspray all over your car. Show him the defects.

I absolutely cannot stand when dealerships do things like this. I've heard too many stories of personal vehicles being returned from the dealership with damage, anything from a scratch that wasn't there all the way to whole sides being ran into in the garage.

Before doing that, I would make sure it is actually overspray and not something else like tree sap. You should be fine claying and reapplying wax or sealant, I don't see complaining to the dealership getting you anywhere.
