And after all that work....Grrrrr!
I`ve got a show in two weeks so I`ve been trying to get my car into shape for that. It is looking great. The problem is that I`ve got some kind of overspray all over my car. My office is really close to some industrial building that has some paint smelling stuff coming out of it. I think it might be their fault. The whole car feels just rough and it is just really clear that its some kind of fallout. I really don`t have the time to strip everything off and start over again. I`m just really ticked off about all this. Even if I did strip it off I still have to go to work. Its just going to come back. :angry
Here is my question... I`ve never really been able to figure out how much product is removed in the claying process. This is just on the surface of 3 layers of WG. If I lightly clayed the car, then how much WG do you think it would remove? I wanted to get a layer of Liquid Souveran on and a couple other products before the show. I can`t start over, but maybe I can salvage some of it. What do you think?
The first thing I`m going to do next week is find out what is coming out of that building. If this is some kind of corrosive agent then I want to know about it. This is just unacceptable. I won`t even have to look far for a lawyer. :naughty Nobody at work is nearly as obsessive about car care as I am, so they probably wouldn`t even notice. I`ve got damages if this blows my show because they touch my car and say it is nasty rough or something. My car should be smooth as a baby`s butt and I`m not going to lose just because of their filthy fallout.

Dude, I feel for ya -- that really does suck!! Part of my experience over the years, was managing the local operation of a national overspray removal specialist (before the advent of clay, back when their base of operation was in Placentia, CA). Over-spray is covered by almost all insurance policies. I can also personally attest that they can and will pay top dollar to have it removed. As an example, when a local city had a problem with fallout from tree sap, anyone who called and complained was referred to us for it`s removal -- 500+ cars @ $250 ea added up real quick!! I might suggest contacting your insurance company, but prior to that, give a call to 1- (800) 835-5858. With 30+ years of experience working directly with insurance companies, handling over-spay claims, George`s experience and insight just might be useful to you and all those around your work (you`d be amazed at how quickly they learn about the damaging effects of "industrial fall out" when they are offered it`s removal at no cost to them). I also ad that if you chose to contact that lawyer, you might just get the opportunity to handle the entire claim yourself
:wait xxx amount of cars @ $$$ = $$$,$$$ :bigscream

Here is a question that maybe you can help with... I would never take my car to someone else to have this stuff removed. How does it work when you make a claim like this? Do they just assess the damage and cut you a check or something? If they want me to go to some detailer to have this removed then forget it. I`d rather clay it off myself. Maybe I`ll get them to buy me a car cover. I seriously think that is my next purchase for this car. I really hate where my office is.... All of the trees around leak sap from their leaves and when the wind blows it sprays this mist of sap everywhere. There are only a couple parking spots in the entire lot that I feel are even safe to park in. With the smokers ashing all over the cars, sprinklers that aren`t aimed right, sapping trees of death, stuipd overspray neighbors, a basketball hoop for break times... there just aren`t many safe places to park. I may just have to park somewhere else and take a bus the rest of the way. lol (Now that is truely obsessive!)
