OK, I've had a ton of overspray on my car for quite some time now, and I wanna get rid of it this weekend. My mom was spraying paint on an oven hood in the garage, and even though my car was outside, it still got hit. :o The front got hit the worst (feels like fine sandpaper). The rest of the car isn't as bad, but it's still annoying.

Besides using a claybar (major PITA cause most of the car is covered), is there anything else I can use to safely remove the overspray? It's not really visible unless you look at it from the right direction (looks like dust particles). A cleaner wax, maybe?

Definately get a claybar kit. Either Mother's or Meguiars will do the trick just fine. Afterwards, follow it up w/ a polish & wax to make your car sexy again. I had to do this to a brand new (at the time) 2000 Lexus GS400 that had overspray paint/stucco on it. Was a sad sight, but now I use it as a show/demo piece.

Same thing happened to my wife's car. Sorry to say you're going to have to clay.

It's not too big of a job though...about 1-2hrs depending on experience, damage level, and car size. Go for it and it'll look 150% better!

I had my car repainted last year. and there was some over spray, incedently i just had my car in the shop last week getting the overspray finally taken off.....Cost $501!!!....they had to repaint the spoler too. but i aksed what they did, they use some thing to get the car down to first layer of clearcoat, then use a sealer or something, and buff it out..........
