  • Claying Fresh Paint?

    Hi All,

    I had my vehicle painted for repairs last week and the job done was good. Upon closer inspection last night, I noticed some overspray (One feels rough and the other one you can see easily but barely feel) on parts where the repair took place. The finish is clear coat to let you know if that is important. I gave the body shop specific instructions not to buff the car to avoid swirls and it is now my guess why there may be over spray remaining. So.......... Can I Clay this after a week of curing or should I let it drive me nuts for the remaining 3 weeks and then do it?

    I guess what I am trying to do is see if I can fix it myself. And if I can't, return it to the shop (which I would like to avoid to eliminate mistakes on their part and making it worse).

    BTW: I also have DC Cleaner and DC Polish. Would that be better then Clay?

    Thanks all again. I post a lot of Q's on here and ALL of you have been a great help to me.

    Detailing a Vehicle is very Therapeutic.

    I just recently had my SUV repainted following some hail damage. It came back and had a bit of overspray on it. I reported the problem and they immediately used several grades of clay to get it down smooth. While this is just my experience, I don't think you need to wait long at all.
