Default Help-over spray all over

I have a serious problem. There is overspray all over my mustang.
THis is an issue at my work place. Some use car covers otherdon't wash
their car so the dust keeps the spray from sticking (so I've heard)

I have a few questions:

What car cover works best and where is the best place to get it?

What can I do to get the over spray off my "beautiful candy apple red" mustang.

I had overspray all over my car (long story). Claybar took it off. I think a cover is a cover, depending on what you want to use it for i.e. waterproof, etc.

I agree, and overspray removal is actually very easy with a clay bar, just be sure to use a good protectant when you are finished as most clays will remove the majority of your wax too.

For a clay I would recommend the Clay Magic Perfect Finish Kit, it is a medium as far as aggressiveness and should take care of the overspray for you.

Obsessive detail also has a nice claybar that I use for my business. 8oz for 23.95. should be able to get alot more use of it opposed to 4oz. 8oz will save you a bit of cash and be able to get more use of it. Just make sure you take a knife and cut the claybar into fourths or eights so if you drop it on the ground you only have to dispose of that tiny piece opposed to throwing the whole thing away. Good luck!

Overspray isn't always easy to remove with a claybar....

It depends on how clean the surface of your car was, and if the overspray has been on for a couple days at the least it's probably going to take a fair amount of elbow grease with a claybar before it grabs and takes it off. Sometimes a claybar won't take it off without spending hours on a 2x2 section and it's better to take light polish & a buffer to knock it loose.
