How to Remove Overspray from Paint Protection Film?
2 Answers
You can try using automotive clay bar for treatment, which can effectively clean and remove overspray, rust spots, oil stains, and other dirt without damaging the paint. If paint adheres to the car surface, you can also go to a professional auto repair shop and have a professional technician clean it.
I also encountered overspray issues right after getting my PPF installed. Overspray refers to those tiny paint particles that float over during spraying - you'll want to address them promptly. I recommend using specialized overspray removers: spray it on, wait a few minutes for softening, then gently wipe in one direction with a soft cloth. Never pick at it with nails or scrub with hard brushes, as that will scratch the PPF. For larger areas, try using detailing clay with lubricant spray, working it slowly. After cleaning, thoroughly rinse with water to prevent chemical residue. Finally, apply some PPF conditioner to restore the gloss. If you're unsure about DIY solutions, just visit professional PPF installers - they have heat guns and professional chemicals to fix it in minutes.
