See Small Specs On Your Paint? Rough Texture? It's Paint Overspray.
Why Does My Car Feel Rough or Have Tiny Colored Dots?
If your car feels rough when you touch it or you see tiny colorful dots on the paint, it might be from something called paint overspray. This happens when small paint particles float through the air usually from nearby construction or outdoor painting and land on your car.
These tiny bits of paint can stick to your paint, windows, trim, and even your wheels. It’s not fun to look at, and it’s even harder to clean off. But don’t worry once we remove the overspray, your car will feel smooth again and shine like new!
Want to keep your car looking great even longer? Check out our Ceramic Coating for extra protection.
Keep in mind, sometimes that rough feeling could come from other stuff stuck on your car, not just paint. Either way, we’re here to help!
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.
