I have a huge job that consists of about 30 to 40 cars. A contractor approached me about a job that his painters were spraying a company building and overspray traveled to the parking lot where employees park there personel vehicles. I was wondering what you recommend getting this off as far as a chemical or will I have to use a clay bar and lube? Looking for the fastest and easiest way!! Need some advice please!!! How would you price this also!!!

Had overspray from paint on my car and the claybar method works the best.:xyxthumbs:
 
You may want to just try a good washing first. If that doesn't then go to clay.
 
A Clay Bar will work the best for removing overspray.
 
most exterior paints are latex based so it might just come off with some water and soap! I'd check with the contractor and see which one was used.

A clay bar and lube would be my first approach. You may even find the need to use an aggressive clay if the work calls for it, which would mean you may end up polishing afterwords.

And that's why I said to try and wash them first. If this paint made it to 30-40 cars then its a good chance that the paint was almost dust and dry when it settled.
 
I would wash first and then clay. The washing should remove some but not all of it, which will also help to prevent any scratching during claying, and will prevent the clay from getting too dirty and using it up too fast, as clay is expensive. The sooner you do it, the easier it will be.
 
Clay, Clay, Clay.... had a Mazda that a friend had some work down on and when she picked it up was covered in white spots. Appears they sprayed a building close by, only took about an hour and the two of us had it looking new again.
