Yesterday morning after car wash, I found out my paint was very rough. Under the sun light, I could see tiny spots of red paint all over the car, especially the horizontal surface. At night, I proceed to clay the bonnet, hood and front windscreen. No doubt, it's alot smoother, but still there're 5% left. Maybe I should clay another round to ensure that all of the paint overspray are removed. My concern here is that, how do I remove paint overspray on rubber linings, wiper arms, and other plastic mouldings? Thanks!

This is a tough one, you can't really clay rubber linings, wiper arms, and other plastic moldings, I recently helped a young man remove the overspray from his car and we didn't even try to tackle these components...
Perhaps someone else will have a suggestion?
This is a tough one...
I would definitely clay the finish again if you still feel paint particles on it.

Thanks Mike. I'm very lucky that the overspray droplets are not huge, they're very very tiny. It can't really be seen on plastic mouldings/ wiper arms/ antenna/ etc...but it can be felt significantly on the paint work. By just using microfiber cloth to wipe across the surface, I can feel the grit. Paint overspray is definitely the worst nightmare for car detailers!Comment

I had spent 12 hours over 3 days to:
1) Clay
2) Surface Prep
3) Wax
all over the car. Lower panels and wheels aren't really contaminated.
Mike, just a question: Aren't detailers supposed to detail every part of the car? If rubber linings, plastic mouldings, wiper arms, etc...are covered with paint overspray, isn't it making the whole detailing process not perfect?Comment
