Yeah I noticed a little bit of a difference. It was only the hood and trunk so it wasn`t much extra work.

Oh no!!!!
The Contractor hopefully has Insurance, and you can get good $$$ for this work...

Mercedes normally is hard paint, so that is better than finicky softer paint..

There used to be and perhaps maybe still is this guy in Texas who removes overspray with a single edge razor blade.. First time I saw the video, I was amazed...

If you get to do this overspray removal on the Mercedes, make sure you charge a lot because its probably in every square inch of the car, glass, lights, trim, wheels, tires, etc...

Sometimes depending on the paint type it can be removed safely with thinner for that paint, or mineral spirits, etc... Be careful, test with a Q tip, out of the sun, have good lighting, and be ready to spray/flush it off if needed...

Good luck !

Thanks for the tips. I have had a couple over spray jobs before. Thinner is my last choice if the clay is taking to long. I plan on fully charging for this job.
