Overspray
 
I recently had my front bumper repainted and just noticed that I have overspray all over my vehicle. I think it's just clearcoat but you can definitly feel it on the windows. What is the best way to get rid of it? Will a clay bar work? Another quick question is how much do most detail places charge for a complete detail, I don't have time to do it myself.

i just had my bodyman buff my entire car and wax it and it is absolutely beautiful :_bow:

he normally charges $150, but he only charged me $100.

Ya that's what this guy wants to charge me, 150 bucks. So yours didn't include interior?

Damn, I do detailing for Honda. And I also do jobs on the side. I guess I'm gonna have to raise my side prices because I'm only charging $75 for buffing, polishing, and waxing.

Yes, a clay bar will be your cheapest and prob best way to go. Just make sure you get the car waxed afterwards.

Alright well I just got my car back and it looks awsome. I think 150 bucks is pretty high but they said because of the overspray it took a lot longer and they waxed it twice.

use the clay bar and see what happens. it should work.... clay bar works wonders! i had some real bad water spots on my paint and windshield, and the clay bar took em right out. :_bow: just make sure to polish and wax after, and you'll be good to go. :tup:
