Whether it is cement, paint, bitumen, or any sort of non-water-soluble particle that has drifted with the wind onto a neighbouring car, car overspray removal can be a significantly damaging problem, especially if you leave it unattended for too long. As soon as these particles start to dry and harden on the surface of the vehicle, the difficulty it becomes to remove as it etches onto the clear coat. You can try to wash the car yourself and remove the car overspray, but you will be more likely to cause further marring and micro-scratches to the paint without proper removal of the contaminant.

Yes, overspray can be buffed out using a machine polisher combined with the right cutting pad and compound. However, it should not be the first step during the car overspray removal phase. Proper decontamination must take place prior, firstly, the overspray needs to be removed, whether it is cement, tree sap, paint or so on. Using a machine polisher first will scratch the paintwork and rip the polishing pad to shreds like sandpaper. We would use the machine polisher after we have properly washed the vehicle only.
A clay bar can remove some overspray, for example acidic chemicals like tree sap, but for contaminants that are more stubborn such as oil based paints, cement, polymers and so on, it will not do that much. In fact, the clay bar would be more of a step to follow through once the contamination overspray has been removed. Although a clay bar will not remove your clear coat, it can cause micro-marring if used too aggressively, this is where a machine polish comes in handy to rectify and correct these minor blemishes. The effectiveness of a clay bar heavily depends on the severity of the overspray and chemical being used.
We would highly advise against doing this as this is highly susceptible to more damage. Sometimes in the worst case scenario, can chip off the paint, which will require paint touch up and a recoating of clear coat to rectify (very tedious and can be expensive). Also, scratching and flicking overspray by force is only going to damage the paint even further with micro-marring, scratches and other minor blemishes. Always seek professional assistance when removing the overspray and refrain from using any physical force.
If your car is protected with a ceramic or graphene coating, then you will most definitely need to have it re-applied. The process to remove and correct overspray will mean the paint protection to will be removed and thinned out. This too, is a service that we provide and can be a great way to protect your car once the overspray has been addressed due to its years of durability, hardness and gloss.
It is always hard to tell until we perform a test panel. The amount of overspray, how long it has been there, the type of overspray and so on, all affect the time required to correct and restore. Typically speaking, the longer the overspray has been left there, the more time that is required to fix it. Time is a crucial factor, so early correction is a must.
No matter how much of a fantastic result we achieve, there is always an element of risk that there may be some overspray left. Especially when the overspray has made its way on to the plastic trims, unlike the paintwork or glass panels, of which a machine buffer can be used, this cannot be done for plastic trims. Using this technique will only burn through the plastic and turn it grey. This means a less aggressive technique must be used and there are no guarantees until tested/tried. Not all overspray react the same due to many contributing factors involved.
The majority of cars affected by overspray can be dealt with using traditional methods by a professional car detailer. However, in the rare occurrences whereby the usual techniques do show great progress, but still have quite a heavy amount of contamination remaining, then this is where it may require a panel beater instead. This is where the paint will most likely need an aggressive wet-sanding process to sand the surface down to the bare and respray the car with a restorative clear coat. Wet sanding is more often avoided because it is super aggressive and sands down your clear coat (which is what protects your car). Unfortunately, there is no way of knowing how effective one method is until it is performed, severity and stubbornness of overspray will vary from car to car, case by case basis.

Removing contamination can be a very risky and daunting task for any car care technician and it is no surprise that not many car detailers would offer such a service. Yes, this process can be very complex but does not mean it cannot be done. Most often we can restore the car better than it was initially. How? Well, we first remove the contamination and follow through with paint correction, otherwise also known as a machine buff/polish, which allows us to rejuvenate the paintwork along with the final protective wax coating. As a result, this tends to highlight the colour depth and glossiness of the car, which we can assure, would be a big winner for the ‘not-so-happy overspray victim.
Machine polishing is very important prior to the main procedure due to the following reasons:
Paint Correction
Machine polishing or buffing is recommended as soon as you start to notice paint defects on your car. Even high end cars are not an exemption from this problem. Unresolved paint scratches can affect the car’s exterior, and this requires paint correction.
Through machine polishing, paint scratches can be easily removed, and paint defects can be eliminated without any unwanted side effects. This works by removing the clear coat, hence getting rid of the car’s scratches. Afterward, the car would be smoothly finished, accompanied by a crystal glossy look.
Enhanced Gloss & Shiny Appearance
You may want to sell your vehicle in the near future. If you’re already considering this, it’s very important to make sure that your car looks impressive by having that glossy and shiny look. This will look impressive to potential buyers, and it can only be done through machine polishing. Trust us, the last thing you want when selling your car is for it to look like it is worth less than 50% of its original value due to its dull look.
Effectively Remove Scratches
The main downside to scratches is that they can diminish your car’s market value. But why worry when this problem can be easily resolved with machine polishing. This process can make your car smoother than ever, thus preserving the paint’s effectiveness. There’s a caveat though — machine polishing is only for minor scratches. Deep scratches would usually need other repairs.
The great part of it all is how super convenient our service is. If you are ever in doubt simply give us a call and one of our friendly staff will guide you through the process and deal with any questions that you may have.
