very nice. im glad i read this cause this exact same thing happened to me almost 2 years ago on my yukon. OS is still on there (truck is lifted and all beat up anyhow, its neglected) so ill def follow these steps when i get around to detailing it.

Great looking job you did. I have a detail job, same exact thing happened where overspray from a construction site got onto a brand new kia. Covered the whole car. I found Goof off was the only thing that took it off quickly and safely. I wish i had taken pictures....Best detail job ive ever done.

Thanks paintexpert - It was actually a really nice switch from the regular routine.

Not surprised that Ron K. was helpful, but I *am* a little surprised that he suggested APC instead of "A" (noting that I woulda been flying blind, I probably woulda tried FK1119 in the absence of advice).

Interesting that you advocate use of the clay holder. Most people here are rather adamantly about those. I suppose its shortcomings are less of an issue when major correction is called for anyhow. Sorta surprising that the ClayMagic Blue was so effective (if inefficient).

Also interesting about the Micro Mesh. I've used super-fine grades of it before, but never for automotive/detailing applications...I'll have to keep that in mind for jobs like that where the goal's more "shearing" than conventional leveling (if I have that wrong, please correct me).

Thanks Accumulator - Ron is the man when it comes to overspray removal chemistry!
Yeah, it created a fair amount of marring, but nothing that was too terrible. The sandpaper worked much better and made the finish much clearer. PM me if you want me to mail you a sheet.

Ouch - 2 years! You definately have your work cut out for you. Good luck.

Thanks - Goof Off is some really neat and strong stuff. Reminds me of this overspray job I used it on a while back:
