    Hello All,

    I read this link and thought "what the hell is Clay Bar? It must be pretty good because lots of people have referred to it" So I found this link on the internet - I hope this helps people who were wondering the same as I was.

    Auto detailing clay, detail clay bar, clay lubricant, Pinnacle Poly Clay, Wolfgang, auto detail clay, meguiar's detailing clay, auto clay bar

    Kind Regards
    Lionel

    To remove overspray I have always used either Repo/Kitten No2 polish or Kitten Water Rubbing Compound.

    Try something like CRC Paint Doctor. Available through Supercheap / Repco etc.

    I've got a tube of it in the shed and it works well for me.

    Another very similar product, also quite good, is Meguiars Scratch-X.

    Both products are intended more for removing scratches / swirl marks, but I've found that they also work well with removing paint from other vehicles / bollards etc picked up in minor knocks (only on SWMBO's car of course ) and we have used both on overspray on the son's Mazda.
    Cheers .........

    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    Tried a couple of different brands of clay bars (which yielded the same results as previous times i'd tried with overspray), prepsol, brake cleaner, etc to no avail....

    Couple of old spraypainters both echoed UncleHo's reccomendation for Kitten No2..... which I've long held to be evil in a can and only to be used in case of world ending catastrophies.....

    thier only additional advice? wax afterwards......

    it works, and quite well, but concerningly, it seemed to work better with a smear of polish, wait a minute or so and some light rubbing instead of whack it on and go for broke.... makes me wonder exactly how harmful it can be.....
