Overspray Removal

See white specs, or your vehicle's paint feels like sand paper? You have paint overspray.

How Does This Happen?
If you work on a construction site where a lot of spray painting is done, some of that paint can land on your vehicle and stick to the surface, just like it would on a concrete wall.

Attempting to scrape or scrub off overspray with tools like plastic razors or towels can do more harm than good. Vigorous rubbing often leads to swirls, scratches, or even severe paint damage.

At Ortiz Auto Detailing, we’ve encountered this issue countless times, and it often complicates the job. Instead of straightforward overspray removal, we also need to correct the damage caused by improper removal attempts.

Our process is safe, effective, and ensures your vehicle is restored without unnecessary wear and tear.

Our Overspray Removal Process

Here’s how we handle overspray safely and effectively:

Thorough Wash: Clean the vehicle, including the wheels, tires, and fenders.
Overspray Removal: Use specialized tools like a clay bar and adhesive remover to gently lift the overspray.
Residue Removal: Wipe down the treated areas to remove any chemical residue.
Light Polish: Address minor marring, swirls, or scratches caused by the removal process.
Protective Wax Application: Apply a spray wax for added shine and protection.
Final Touches: Dress tires with a water-based, non-sling dressing for a clean, polished look.

This process restores your paint to its original condition—or sometimes even better! For customers looking to enhance their vehicle further, we recommend pairing this service with our Wash and Wax or Paint Correction packages for a full transformation.
