White overspray - Saxperience

Packham · 16th April 2011, 10:26

I took my car to the body shop to get the front bumper and both wings re-sprayed.
I got the car back to find they had waxed everything including plastics and windows and somehow managed to put a huge spot of glue on the bonnet, I took it back and now everything is okay. However I have started to notice spots of white paint all over the bonnet.

Could anyone tell me how to get rid of them? cos I really don't fancy paying them a 4th visit.

I'll give it a go, will i need to buy a full kit or just the clay bar?

EDIT: Just found the how to guide on removing tar. I'll have a look at that

Waxed a freshley painted car??

I would avoid using clay on fresh paint at first , leave it for a couple of weeks then think about doing it, you can buy the clay bar and make up your own lubricant using some water with a weak mix of shampoo.

Im just doing the bonnet for now anyway, only the wings and the top of the bumper have been re-sprayed. I think i'm going to get the meguiars smooth surface kit its only 15 quid more and I think there is 2 bars in it

Sorry to be so off topic but how much did the spay job set you back?

claying it hasn't worked, but my the paint is soooper smooth

and the spray job cost 300 but that was to fix both wings as they were damaged, the drivers was really bad as a bus drove into it pushing the wing in by atlease an inch, it also took a gouge out of the bumper
