A friend at work came to me about over spray on his Murano. It happened about a year ago on a windy day in Dallas, TX. It has what appears to be real fine brown over spray that happened when he went under an over pass.

He's already had the car clayed and still has the over spray. Any idea how to get these fine spots of paint off?
 
Most likely is going to have to have the car polished to get that off. Or get some more aggressive clay. However with more aggressive clay you risk inducing marring into the paint, which leads to having to polish.

My apologies. I just tried it to and came up with everything but, paint overspray. This maybe explains why I see thread after thread related to the same subject :bash:

Please except my apology

Now, lets see what we got here....

Yea, the longer that stuff sits on there, usually the tougher it is to get off. Sounds like it also may be an Industrial type paint

If this thing is proven to be the booger bear as you describe, I would go with an aggressive red clay. Beware though, the paint will without doubt be in need of correction afterwards

As far as getting it off the windows, use a NEW razorblade and just mist the surface before scraping with either windex or water

On the rubber trim and tires....Unless this friend has measurments of 38-26-36 I would tell them they're probally going to have to live with it, or spend countless hours removing with APC and you fingernail/plastic razor

You could also wetsand them off, but I don't know how comfortable you are doing this.

Again, sorry about my first response

Good luck and keep us posted how it turns out,

Flash, I'm the one that should be apologizing. I was a little cranky when I posted. The guy with over spray was telling me because he had clear coat on his car, he never needed to wax it. I can hear a sleaze ball car salesman telling him that to make a sale?

It probably is some kind of industrial paint. He said the highway dept. was painting the over pass when he got sprayed. I told him to try some lacquer thinner in an inconspicuous place. I have removed paint scrapes with it but it leaves the cc dull and needs a little compound and wax afterwards.

Maybe someone with this experience will stop by and share.

No need for an apology to me, but I do appreciate the thought.

LOL to not having to wax because you have CC protection

It really doesn't matter what type of paint it is. All that matters is getting it off w/out ruining anything. I've got plenty of expierence in dealing with this and if you'll just follow my previous posts guide, you can do it to

If in fact your client can prove the hwy dept did this, I would get in contact with them as to what avenue you (they) need to take for reimbursment. Their use to this kinda stuff happening

Again, Good luck
