Best Way To Gently Remove Overspray

[05 Roush]

OK, I just had my front bumper repainted under warranty and there's a little bit of overspray that wound up on the tops of the back bumper and trunk. Must have been from a nearby paint job they were doing at the same time.

Now, I could just take it back and have them buff it out, but I would feel more comfortable finding a gentler way of doing so myself by hand.

Any suggestions?

possibly clay-bar?? Might also do a light hand rub of a light-duty rubbing compound. (I reccomend wax-shops safe cut) and see where you get.

1500 grit (wet sanded) paper will do it and then you can buff it with polishing compound.I did the same when I put a gouge in my bumper and had some overspray.

Thanks! Both good suggestions! I think I might sand down with 1500 grit followed by a light compound or metal polish. :beer:

Using clay would be your safest option.

Thanks! I just happen to have a bar sitting in the garage. I just don't like them buffing it down with a mega buffer every time there's some overspray.

Well, 1500 grid isn't exactly something you think about when using a belt sander.

true but it is in comparison to clay bar. try it first. it will in no way harm your finish, especially if it is a new bar. epper:

Definately go with the clay. Clay is maybe the greatest detail product ever. Well, at least I think so.

Clay Bar.....that is what it was originally designed for.

I had some overspray from a repainted front bumper. I just used some mequires detail type spray (Not sure the name off top of my head) and a microfiber cloth.
