This truck was screwed up! It was trapped at the owner’s brand new house while 3 houses (including theirs) were getting painted. Because they were out of town, the painters weren’t smart enough to cover their truck. By the time the owner noticed the overspray and painter’s insurance company acknowledged liability, this Latex paint ended being embedded on this truck for almost 9 months!! During this delay the owner’s were so disgusted that they barely even bothered washing it.
Befores:
There were even scattered areas where big blobs of paint were splattered:
I tried everything and although Auto Magic Blue Clay Magic was taking it off, it was taking forever. Way too long! Here’s the 50/50’s after using Blue CM with Lake Country’s Clay Holder via DA buffer:
I tried solvents, razor blades, degreasers, and the notorious Hi Tech Magna Sponge and the best and quickest method by far was Micro Surface Micro Mesh sandpaper. I used various grits with AM Body Shine lube and it instantly removed the overspray with only minimal marring.
Quick Process:
I 1st power/hand-washed all the loose topical dirt off the vehicle. Then, with the recommendation of Ron Ketchum @ Auto Int. I soaked the entire vehicle down with heavy wet towels saturated with paint safe APC for several hours. This loosened up the overspray and made my job removing it even less difficult.
Here’s the marring created from the 4000 grit sandpaper (overspray removed):
I sanded the bumper with Micro Mesh 3200 because of the heavy splatter mixed in with scratches:
I used razor blades on the glass:

Thanks. :2thumbs: The clay bar holder is basically a standard foam pad w/a cutout for your clay to sit in. You velcro it to your PC and start grinding away. No more tired arms from moving back n forth for hours.
