Paint Overspray Removal On Cars Patterson
Rough texture to your paint? White specs of paint? We can remove that.
See Small Specs On Your Paint? Rough Texture? It's Paint Overspray.
When you see small colored specs on your paint or feel a rough texture on the panel when you slide your hand over it, it’s due to tiny paint particles that have landed on your vehicle.
Usually this happens when you’re near a construction site or someone is painting outside and the wind carries over a very thin layer of paint particles over to your vehicle.
It’s most likely all over your vehicle, glass, paint, trim, wheels etc… it’s not fun to see, let alone trying to remove it from all those surfaces. Once the overspray is removed the car will look shiny and smooth. If your looking for extra protection for your paint check out our Ceramic Coatings.
That being said, small specs of paint or rough texture feeling could be something else like other above surface contaminants.
Don't Do More Harm Than Good To Your Paint
Scratching and rubbing your paint vigorously with a towel, plastic razor or brush will do nothing other than install a bunch of swirls and scratches into your paint.
We see this all the time. It just adds more work to your vehicle because now there’s two parts that we have to address:
The first part is removing the overspray. Sometimes it’s easy, sometimes it’s very difficult. It depends on the type of paint and the surface that it’s on (i.e. trim, wheels, paint or glass).
Many times, even with safe removal methods it will cause minor marring to the paint. Because of this, a light polish will be needed to remove the marring.
However, if you aggressively scratch your paint, we will then have to use a more intense method of paint correction to remove the scratches you caused.

Paint Overspray FAQ's
Do you come to me?
Yes, we are a fully contained mobile unit that will come to your home or work location.
I tried claying the paint and it’s still there. Now what?
A clay bar treatment is a great option to cleanse the paint from above surface contaminants. It’s what we do on every Wash and Seal service. However, when it comes to overspray, it’ll need to be “pulled” off differently. You can spend more time claying but you won’t get favorable results. It’s a very tedious and time consuming process.
Can you remove the overspray from plastic, wheels and glass?
Generally speaking, yes. We can remove it from glass, wheels, fenders, trim, etc… However, that doesn’t mean we will be able to remove 100% of all the overspray. As always, we’ll follow our detailing methodology, but some areas and surfaces will be more problematic than others. Especially depending on the type of paint that landed on your vehicle.
Can a rubbing compound remove the overspray?
It might be able to remove a tiny fraction of the overspray that hs landed on your vehicle, but for the most part, it won’t do much. You can try your best to work the product into the area with a towel but you’re not going to see a significant difference.
