What is the best way to deal with overspray on car paint?
2 Answers
There are two situations of overspray on the car: 1. Overspray that is not completely dry; 2. Overspray that is completely dry. The treatment method for overspray that is not completely dry is: 1. Use clean water or car wash liquid to clean the overspray on the car body once; 2. Use car wash clay soaked in warm water to wipe the area with overspray until it is completely removed. For overspray that is completely dry, clean the sand and dirt on the car paint surface, then use polishing sandpaper to grind off the overspray, followed by polishing treatment. Car paint is a protective film sprayed on the car, which is a type of coating that makes the car body less susceptible to corrosion and gives a beautiful appearance. Different car paints have different effects, and the paint itself, along with the technology and a good painting environment, is crucial.
Don't panic and scratch randomly when you find overspray on your car paint. I've got experience with this. First, rinse the surface with a high-pressure water gun, adjusting the water flow to a fan shape to avoid damaging the paint. If small particles remain, buy a clay bar and gently rub it with soapy water, remembering to move in straight, unidirectional motions—no circular rubbing. Like the time my neighbor used their nails to pick at it and ended up scratching the primer, costing an extra 800 yuan for a respray. After treatment, remember to apply a coat of scratch wax all over—it can cover minor flaws and form a protective film. For large-scale industrial overspray, it's best to go straight to a professional detailing shop. They have solvent spray equipment, and for around a hundred yuan, you can save yourself the hassle.
