Body shop film?

bigaudiofanatic · 02-03-2012, 05:24 PM

Been a week sense I picked up my car from the body shop. I did a Waterless Wash a day after I got it.

I still have a grit that almost feels like a unpolished surface on some of my car.

How do I get rid of this? Clay bar?

Sounds like overspray...I'd try clay on it first, but only on panels that were not painted.

would try that and see what happens. would also wash with All Purpose Cleaner in your shampoo as well

Is overspray hard to get off if thats what it is?

Just ran out and clayed a small area that is what is needed, after it was smooth.

Will fallow up with Glaze and Americana

Nope, clay bar should do the trick.

definitely sounds like overspray, clay her down and a nice wash and should be good as new.

Clay was originally used for removal of overspray, and as you found, it works great!
