Angry Over Spray

Does anyone have or heard of a product you can get at a local store that will SAFELY get light over spray off of paint WITHOUT taking the paint off with it? I just figured something like that would be out there.

Thanks!!

YES, a claybar will remove it very easy, and not hurt your paint at all...

Any good claybar will do. You should be able to find one at a local auto parts store. You want to use a good luburcation with the clay, usally the best way to do it is to use a bucket you prepare for washing your truck. Put the soap and water as you would for washing and use it as the luburactaion for the clay.

The important thing to remember, or recommendation is to cut your clay bar into say 3 pieces. If while claying you happen to drop it then THROW AWAY that piece, do NOT try to clean it just THROW IT AWAY. Once your done claying wash your truck and wax/polish the area you clayed so as to protect the paint.

If you need more information on claying then just ask...

Use a clay bar, it will remove light overspray & just about anything else that's embedded in the paint without damaging it!

Nah, this is the one and only Ford site..... well, the only one that's worth a flip.

All the other sites want to talk about is stereos and superchargers... sure, they're nice, but I have other interests.

2002FORDFX4,

If you're still with us, be advised that some overspray can be difficult to remove with a clay bar. Having said that, some manufactures of clay bars have different grades of clay bars to handle different jobs. For example, Clay Magic had a blue bar, and a red bar. The Blue bar is less abrasive than the red bar, and will not remove overspray that the red bar will. Keep in mind that the more abrasive bars can cause some swirl marks, so you may need (and should) polish after using a clay bar.

Good luck getting the overspray off!

I didn't know there were different types of clay. The only clay bar I have used is the Zaino clay bar, which I figured was nothing better then the good quality ones bought in the store. Mine took off my overspray with no problems and has never left any scratches, so you may want to consider the Zaino claybar (Z18):

01,

Actually, the Zaino clay bar is an excellent clay bar. I believe it's the same bar as the Pinnacle Poly clay bar, which is considered one of the best. IMHO, either of these bars is better than some found in local stores. However, there are only a few manufactures of clay bars, so, in reality, some of the clay bars are identical, even though they have different labels.
