Big "A" Detailing 08 Civic Removing Overspray By Hand Compounding on You Tube

The customer spray tinted his tail lights without removing them first. The trunk, driver quarter & rear bumper had heavy overspray. I removed the wing to get to everything.
It was friday night & I had a ton of work lined up for the next day.
This was the quickest way to remove the overspray. I misted water on the surface first & then rubbed in the compound with a micro fiber towel. By hand compounding the entire car I got the paint to about 85% which was the goal for this job. I used Meguiars M205 Polish then 3M Ultrafine Polish with my Dewalt DW849 rotary.
I put on the first coat of Klasse @ 12:14am & let it cure for a half hour then removed it. I laid on another coat of Klasse around 12:45am & left it there & called it a night!
Humberto come in @ 7am to remove the tape & Klasse & get the car ready for an early morning pickup!
We clayed, hand compounded, clayed, hand compounded till the overspray was all off. I cant tell you why it was done this way but it worked =)
I didnt take out the halogens on the whole car, just the areas that had overspray. With the halogens on its easier to see the overspray.

Great work Andrew. It is always interesting to learn how other experienced detailers tackle overspray, from using super high grits of sandpaper (4k-5k), compounding, decon washes, and now "wet compounding".

The Civic looks GREAT! Thanks for sharing and very cool VID!:yourrock

The overspray from Nightshades spray tint is a mother to remove. I may or may not have oversprayed the fairing on my bike a few weeks ago with it...

Nice job, that was a lot of overspray. You would think they would have seen it going all over the car and stopped.

Probably worked in low light, I really wish I had a garage to do work in because it makes a huge difference. Damn good for hand app, using the knuckles was a nice touch
