Hey guys I’m new to this forum and I’ve heard many good things about it. Anyways, I was spraying my fence with oil based paint and my whole car got covered with over spray. I guess I waited too long and it seems like the paint has dried, I tried using paint thinner and it removed it but it took A LOT of effort and I cannot imagine myself doing the whole truck. I have since then bought a Porter Cable but before buying any product I thought I’d ask first before I buy anything. Thank in advance.

The first line of defense is detailing clay. If the standard stuff like the Clay Magic kit doesn`t do the job, you might have to step up to one of the more aggressive clays that`s not usually sold over the counter, but a lot of auto parts stores can order it.

Yes I`d recommend a heavy duty clay bar made for overspray like this...
