Who can remove paint over spray? Half of my car is covered in this shit. Its not really bad you can only tell if you go up close or rub your fingers on the paint.
I got some clay but its not really doing much, so who do I go to, a paint shop or a car detailer? I'm not really sure who can take care of this.

WTF have you done to your car :eek:
I guess the clear has been already applied your paint job from Japan as only way is to go and see a professional panelbeater and get there opinion as could be a respray job or buff polish as im not guessing without seeing your car again :p

how did ur car get overspray on it?
Recently been in a paint shop?
Smash repair shops near work?
First i'd find out where it came from, then c if the culprits will accept responsability, a buff all over and polish to remove overspray is gonna cost you about $300+
Also if u do pay out ur on pocket and then a week later car i covered again caue the source of the overspray is near work u'll b pised

It was at a mechanical workshop, they said it must of been from the workshop behind them but I call BS as there also a panel beater shop as well, I will be going back and telling them to fix it. I just wanted to see if there was an easy fix.

Rubbing compound will do it, either by hand or with a buffing machine.
Try a fresh claybar, that should remove most of it, otherwise you'll need to cut and buff in small increments.

As said previously if it happened at a workshop, get them to fix it.
But if all else fails, a cheap buffer and some fine cutting polish will do the job...
Just be sure not too concentrate on one area for too long or you could damage your paint...

Depending on how bad it is... if its not coming off with a hand buff try a tiny bit of Thinners on a clean cotton cloth and wipe it gently over your car and wait to it for evaperate before wiping again. Once you have done it re-polish the car.

Yeah i did buy that as the clay bar i had was old and crappy, im going to give it a go on the weekend and hopefully that will get the rest off as i gave it a really good high pressure wash and that seemed to get a bit of it off.
If not i guess i will have to get it professionally cut and polished, thanks for the help guys.
