How do I get paint Overspray off my car? trying to remove it yourself could cause more damage to your car's paint. We will do it the right way!
Most Common Car Overspray Causes
When you see colored small specs on your paint or feel a rough texture on the panel when you slide your hand over it, it’s due to tiny paint particles that have landed on your vehicle.
Usually, this happens when you’re near a construction site, or someone is painting outside, and the wind carries a very thin layer of paint particles over to your vehicle.
It’s most likely all over your vehicle; glass, paint, trim, wheels, etc… it’s not fun to see, let alone to remove it from all those surfaces.
That being said, small specs on your paint and the rough texture feeling could be something else like other types of above surface contaminants.
I tried to remove some Overspray off my car, but now it looks like I scratched the paint, Can you help with that?
That's one of the most common questions we get about overspray. Of course, we are happy to help, When clients try to remove the overspray by themselves without understanding the right way to do it, that just creates different types of issues that would need to be addressed differently. This process usually requires some sort of Paint Correction.
We see this time and time again. It just adds more work to your vehicle because now there are two parts that we have to address:
The first part is removing the overspray. Sometimes it’s easy, sometimes it’s very difficult. It depends on the type of paint and the surface that it’s on (trim vs wheels vs paint vs glass). After removing the Overspray, we have to complete the job by doing a Paint Correction job.
Many times, even with safe removal methods, it will cause minor marring to the paint. Because of this, a light polish will be needed to remove the marring.
However, if you aggressively scratch your paint, we’ll then have to use a more intense method of Paint Correction to remove those heavy swirls and scratches that have been caused.
At Wow Auto Detailing we advise you to just leave it alone and call (954)324-1780 or Fill Out This Form. We will inspect your car and try different procedures to remove the overspray, We will start from the less aggressive approach so you can get the results you want without spending a ton of money.

Will paint overspray damage my vehicle?
From our experience, when we perform a Premium Wash on a vehicle that has had overspray sitting on the paint for an extended period of time, we’re still able to remove it with the proper procedures. There’s no permanent or irreversible damage we’ve seen however, It's probably going to be more difficult to remove because it could be more embedded to your vehicle's paint.
I tried claying the paint and it’s still there. Now what?
A clay bar treatment is a great option to cleanse the paint from above surface contaminants. It’s what we do on every Wash and Wax service. However, when it comes to overspray, it’ll need to be “pulled” off differently. You can spend more time claying but you won’t get favorable results. It’s a very tedious and time consuming process.
Can you remove the overspray from plastic, wheels, and glass?
Generally speaking, yes. We can remove it from glass, wheels, fenders, trim, etc.… However, that doesn’t mean we’ll be able to remove 100% of all the overspray. As always, we’ll follow our detailing methodology. But some areas and surfaces will be more problematic than others. Especially depending on the type of paint that landed on your vehicle.
Can a rubbing compound remove the overspray?
It might be able to remove a tiny fraction of the overspray that has landed on your vehicle, but for the most part, it won’t do much. You can try your best to work the product into the area with a towel but you’re not going to see a significant difference.
