I am trying to clay the overspray off my vehicle, I am currently using meguires clay bar kit from WM and its taking me an excessive amount of elbow grease and I am still unable to get all of it off. The truck was in the body shop approximately 8 months ago, and it appears the overspray is yellow paint. Using the baggy my entire truck feels like its covered in 220 grit sand paper.
Overspray is on virgin paint, no wax has ever been applied due to law suit.

What is the next step up in aggressive clay that I can pick up at a local parts store????

Thanks
 
Some Advance Auto stores carry Meguiar's Mirror Glaze Professional Detailing Clay - Aggressive. Some carry the Clay Magic Red.
 
I always keep a bar of "Clay Magic Aggressive Red Clay" around.

It will get just about anything off of paint. Especially dried on pollen drops and sap.

But you will absolutely have to polish your paint afterwards. It will marr even the hardest paints.

If you don't mind...Help me out a little bit here...

This law suit has somehow forbidden you from applying wax to "virgin-paint"...
But yet...You're allowed to clay the hecky-durn out of it?!?!

This is some hardcore stuff and not easy to find other than body shops. I don't know what it's made of but not for the faint of heart. I retired mine for a Speedy Prep Towel in Medium Grade. Same results not as dangerous.
 
Red clay sold on Amazon too, very aggressive, sold under some other brand but its all the same.

The truck had to remain in as-is condition as evidence until law suit was completed, a settlement was reached so now I am starting to clean it up. Finally! I Won by the way.:props:
 
I was hoping a mild - med clay would get the surface smooth without having to polish afterwards. What do you all think? I can't find anything locally, have one more place to check today before being forced to order online. I was leaning towards the meg's mild. The kit that I am currently using is called smooth surface, so I am guessing its a fine clay.
 
all that time with no wax, its due for a polish anyhow, so go for the aggressive clay.

then opti coat! the truck deserves it!
 
Curious. Why didn't you take it back to the shop that applied the overspray? Enquiring minds want to know!
 
After 21 working days and 4 seperate trips, the body shop refused to work on it any longer.
Dealership refused to assist any further, and was basically told if I wasn't satisfied I needed to obtain a attorney. I was even accused of intentionally damaging the vehicle. You can see pictures of the truck if you go to my gallery.

Anytime you use a clay you will need to polish your car afterwards.
Megs white clay is among one of the mildest on the market, right there with other ultra fine clays.
Then the blue clay is stronger, but still very mild and safe to use.
The red clay is aggressive and will scratch.
