Re: Body Shop Overspray
Thanks Murr I def have a bottle of #80 at home and will continue to use the quick detailer for now. The Z is more of a show car if anything now that I got the Scion for a daily so I will need some way to keep it shiny in the mean time.

Re: Body Shop Overspray
You can use Quick Detailer, Nxt Detailer, etc, but Ultimate Quick Detailer Would not be recomended because of its polymer coating.
#80 Speed Glaze does conatain a paintable polymer, which is also safe for fresh paint, and would offer a little protection.Leave a comment:

Now as far as the freshly painted area i have heard to wait a while till it cures however using simply quick detailer will not affect anything correct?Leave a comment:

Re: Body Shop Overspray
Well, there are a couple things running together here...
Yes, clay and a paint cleaner would remove wax, so you would want to apply wax after to protect yoru finish.
However, it is generaly recomended not to wax fresh paint for 30-90 days while it cures. However, you can wash, clay, clean, and polish fresh paint. And either way, if you clay or not, there is no protection on the paint. So if you wanted to do some claying and cleaning before your curing time is up, that is fine. And esp. with things like overspray, sap, etc, they only get harder to remove as time goes on.
Hope that helpsLeave a comment:

^^ Hmmmm I thought you had to add some type of protection right away after claying. If I am wrong then please correct me.Leave a comment:

Re: Body Shop Overspray
Clay is definitely the way to go.
However, are you going to clay right away when the paint is fresh? I asked this question in another thread and I was advised to leave the car alone for 3 months. (****, way too long).Leave a comment:

Re: Body Shop Overspray
Man that *****! I cannot believe a body shop would do that to such a sweet car. My father works in a very high end body shop and they have this clear film they spray on any part of the car that is not being worked on. This film keeps over spray off the undamage area of the car while it's in the shop. Just before delivery the car is hand washed and the film is removed via pressure washer.
I hope the clay bar works for you.

Re: Body Shop Overspray
I believe I have a bottle of # 80 at home however at what speeds do I use the polisher set at? The Z was in the shop almost two months so I can see how the overspray got all over the car. I've been waiting so long for my car and when I get it back I have these problems. I have always maintained my car using nothing but Meg's and even set up a Z detail day at the headquarters in Irvine a few years back with my350z.com. The accident happened a day before the SEMA convention and the entire time I was working the event my mind was on my car.
Guys thanks for the reply and Mike for chiming in also.........ThanksLeave a comment:

Re: Body Shop Overspray
I wouldnt look at it as resorting to the clay bar.... A clay bar is easy to use and can be a regular part of your detail process, maybe doing it a couple times a year. (A show car probably needing less than a daily driver)
With overspray, try to clay gently at first, but you might end up having to give it a little more passion and effort than normal, but a once-over with something like #80 will take care of any swirls as well.Leave a comment:
